This would be quite hard to maintain in the hundreds of platforms
gcc/egcs currently supports.

In general, you should not build egcs in the directory where it is
supposed to be installed.  You should have build it in /tmp/egcs-1.0.3
or such, so that, after install, you could just rm -rf /tmp/egcs-1.0.3

If you imply that objdir is the directory where you run configure and
make bootstrap, then you can safely remove objdir after `make install'
