If I understand correctly, you ask whether it's possible to do a simple
./configure; make bootstrap
instead of creating an empty directory and issueing
/full/path/to/egcs/sources/configure; make bootstrap
If so, the answer is that it _may_ work, though strictly following the
procedure as outlined in the docs is highly recommended.
Please note that the documentation at the egcs website
(http://egcs-www.cygnus.com/install/) is probably more up to date than
what has been shipped with egcs-1.0.3a.
If you have any further questions (or I have misunderstood your question),
just let us (me) know.
Clearly also suggestions or hints for improvements of the documentation
are most welcome!
