This sounds like you don't have any C compiler at all. In order to
compile GCC's source code, you have to have a C compiler already.
Yes, this is a bit of a catch-22. Pre-built binaries can be had from
<http://gcc.gnu.org/install/binaries.html> but only for some operating
systems. We can give more specific advice if you tell us what OS you
are using.
