This part should be unnecessary. gcc_update takes care of this when
building from CVS.
Besides, there are other errors:
* It isn't necessary to specify --enable-languages: if you have an
Ada-capable gcc as a bootstrap compiler, the ada backend will be built
automatically.
* Nowadays gnatmake *is* required since it is used to build xgnatug.
* While make gnatlib_and_tools doesn't work in parallel, parallel bootstrap
itself works fine.
As I've indicated before, the current support for building with different
Ada and C compilers should be removed in favor of requiring a gcc that
includes GNAT if Ada support is desired.
