We never use "./configure". It is supposed to work, but since we never
use this ourselves, it is often accidentally broken. Instead, you
should do something like
cd ..
mkdir build
cd build
../gcc/configure ...
You probably have to delete everything in the source tree that was
created by your broken configure/build before this will work. This may
be tricky, but if you delete everything that "cvs update" complains
about, then you should be OK. If you configure in a different
directory, it is trivial to delete a broken build. Also, this makes it
easy to build multiple cross compilers from a single source tree, which
many of us often need to do.
gcc-bugs is mainly for bugzilla output nowadays. It isn't the best
place to ask questions.
