configure gcc4.0.2


I am trying to install gcc on Ubuntu linux on a Mac powerpc architecture.
I have successfully unpacked the tarball and have tried to build it in a
directory other than the directory containing the unpacked tarball (the
source directory) as per the instructions.
However when I run "sourceDirectory/configure" it halts configuration
because it can not find gcc or cc at lines 1808 and 1838. The
instructions contain the following:

Second, when configuring a native system, either cc or gcc must be in
your path or you must set ccin your environment before running configure. 
Otherwise the configuration scripts may fail.

I do not know exactly what is meant by cc or gcc must be in the path. I
assume it is referring to the path variable in "/etc/environment", but I
do not know what cc or gcc must be in the path refers to. Could anyone
please expand on this for me?

Sincere regards
