Hi,
... from ``info gcc''
--> snip
... So you don't need to specify a configuration when
building a native compiler unless `configure' cannot figure out
what your configuration is or guesses wrong.
In those cases, specify the build machine's "configuration name"
with the `--host' option; the host and target will default to be
the same as the host machine. ...

Shripad, due to the fact that we don't know what platform you're on and
what this "minimlistic unix type os" - thing is, have a look at the gcc
documentation to see if your target platform/os is supported.
