That's not how you should build GCC (according to
http://gcc.gnu.org/install/). Use a separate build directory and
issue make bootstrap. For example I run from a separate build dir
(most options are not needed and you can use the default):
/cvs/gcc/configure --prefix=/opt/gcc-3.1-devel --enable-shared \
--enable-threads=posix --enable-clocale=gnu \
--with-gnu-as --with-gnu-ld --disable-nls --with-system-zlib
(make bootstrap && make -k check) 2>&1|tee make-out
