The source code and build system are for unix operating systems.  For instance,
the configure script runs under the Bourne shell, not under Windows's batch
processing facility.  That's only the start of a long list of incompatibilities.

Most of the work in getting gcc onto your system is done for you in the cygwin 
project.  See  http://www.cygwin.com

Good luck.
