What part of http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-help/2011-05/msg00411.html
didn't answer your questions?

Are you not receiving Andrew's replies?  He pointed you to that mail
again the other day.

If you'd read the GCC install documentation (or Andrew's reply to you
last month) you'd know you should not run ./configure:
http://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/FAQ#configure

If you are unsure what options to give to configure then get hold of a
working GCJ for mingw32 and run "gcj -v" which will show you how it
was configured.  You can probably use the same options.
