You just need make to be in your path.  I'm assuming /usr/local/bin is in
your path.  If this is true, then you issue the command 'make bootstrap'
from inside the source-level path of what you're compiling.

E.G. I want to compile egcs-1.1.2, which is installed at
/usr/local/src/egcs-1.1.2.  I would 'cd /usr/local/src/egcs-1.1.2' and
issue 'make bootstrap'.  :)  

(Of course, you should build egcs in it's own object directory, but I
didn't want to make this confusing.)  :)
