Hi all, a quick follow-up below.

I checked http://gcc.gnu.org/install/prerequisites.html
Under "Tools/packages necessary for modifying GCC" it has 

autogen version 5.5.4 (or later)

My fault, but... I'm just testing my bootstrap and am not intending to modify 
gcc, so I didn't pay attention to this section. Especially since the boostrap 
of gcc and g++ seemed to go OK this time. I now see that many of the other 
packages listed are also prerequsites for testing gcc and not only 
prerequisties for modifying gcc.

Maybe the heading should say:

"Tools/packages necessary for testing or modifying GCC" 

to save newbies like me from hours and hours of pain and frustration?
