Configuring gcc-3.0


This question may be a bit foolish.

According to the gcc official homepage, the standard commands for 
configuring gcc-3.0 are:

   % mkdir objdir
   % cd objdir
   % srcdir/configure [target] [options]

where objdir is the top level build/object directory and srcdir is the 
toplevel source directory.

But I did not follow the above instruction. I thought that gcc-3.0 was like 
other gnu programs and the configuration commands should be: (the 
gcc-3.0.tar.gz is located at /archives/ and after unzipping, 
/archives/gcc-3.0/ was created)

   cd /archives/gcc-3.0/
   ./configure

Do my commands work? I have no idea what toplevel source directory and what 
toplevel build/object directory are.
Is /archives/gcc-3.0/ my toplevel source directory?
What is my toplevel build/object directory?
