I suppose you're just not reading the installation instructions?!

First off, as clearly stated in the installation instructions you need
to build in a seperate directory -- NOT in the source directory.

Secondly, as clearly stated in the installation instructions you need
to run 'make bootstrap' to build a native compiler.

Read the manuals.
