Per doc, all it takes for it to build binutils is to put them at the top
level of gcc source tree and run gcc configure /make ? And they would be
automagically built and used ? Just want to make sure I read it right

 Alternatively, you may `make all'

I tried 'make all' - it died in libgcc++-v3 with some "no rule to make
target" - I forgot which
I'll try make bootstrap4 for starters.
