Hm, you don't need to run this as root.
Here in my env I set the PATH pointing to the ccs/bin/ld. I use the 
tcsh. This is what I put in my .tcshrc:

setenv PATH /usr/local/bin:/usr/ccs/bin:/usr/bin:$PATH
setenv CONFIG_SHELL /bin/ksh

Then source this .tcshrc and configure the gcc to your needs.

e.g, in a directory called objdir which is on the same level as the gcc-src.

../gcc/configure --prefix=<where to install>

after configure completes, a make bootstrap should run through.
