The web page http://gcc.gnu.org/install/ has instructions for
downloading the complete GCC sources and building them.
This list is generally meant for discussion about active development
of GCC. If you find you need help building GCC, you should ask those
questions on the gcc-help mailing list; see
http://gcc.gnu.org/lists.html.
