If you want to build multilibs (both 32- and 64-bit compilers) you will 
need some 32-bit components which don't come with the 64-bit g++ from 
your package manager.  Installing both 32- and 64-bit gcc or g++ for 
your distro should accomplish it; you would need at least the 32-bit 
glibc.  If you wish only to build a newer version of your 64-bit 
gfortran,  configure options might include --disable-multilibs 
--enable-languages='c c++ fortran' Remember also the requirement to 
build in a fresh directory separate from the sources.
