Where did you read its possible? Compiling the C compiler might be
supported; compiling the C++ compiler is not - that is supposed to be
build with the C compiler generated in stage 1.

What do you mean, avoid? You can certainly replace them using global
search-and-replace in your editor, provided you end up with ANSI C
signatures afterwards, and provided your bootstrap compiler supports
ANSI C. It would be better if you get them defined, though.

Alternatively, you could start with a gcc 2.96 snapshot, where these
are replaced with the PARAMS macros.

Please have a look at
