GCC 4.5.1: cannot compute suffix of object files: cannot compile

[Miguel Cardenas <renito73 at gmail dot com>]

Hello

Am trying to compile GCC 4.5.1 but had no success... These are the
steps I followed:

1. Install GMP, MPFR and MPC

2. Uncompress gcc-4.5.1.tar.gz,  gcc-core-4.5.1.tar.gz,
gcc-g++-4.5.1.tar.gz,  gcc-objc-4.5.1.tar.gz at /tmp/

3. mkdir /tmp/gcc-4.5.1/objdir; cd /tmp/gcc-4.5.1/objdir

4. ../configure --prefix=/usr/local

Then it starts the configuration and after a while it throws:

...
checking where to find the target windmc... host tool
checking whether to enable maintainer-specific portions of Makefiles... no
checking whether -fkeep-inline-functions is supported... yes
configure: creating ./config.status
config.status: creating Makefile

5. Run make

What can be the error... I have currently a RPM version installed at /
and am compiling latest version at /usr/local, then I want to remove
the RPM and leave the current version only...

Any idea of what is going on and how can I fix it to compile?

These are the packages already installed:

cpp-4.1.2-12.i386.rpm  gcc-c++-4.1.2-12.i386.rpm  libstdc++-4.1.2-12.i386.rpm
gcc-4.1.2-12.i386.rpm  libgomp-4.1.2-12.i386.rpm
libstdc++-devel-4.1.2-12.i386.rpm

libgcc was already installed on my Fedora 7

Thanks for any help
