I disagree: the process of building gcc from a release (as opposed to building the development version of gcc) really isn't complicated. The only remotely non-standard thing that is required is GNU make. Given that, all you need to do is "SRCDIR/configure; make".
OK, I agree: a native compiler, with no special options, isn't too hard. I don't think typing that sequence twice would be too hard either, though. :-)
