help with installing gcc in os x please.

[Ben Dougall]

about the patch. i've done it like this ('patch' being the text file 
name that's in the srcdir):
patch -p1 <patch

which gave this output:

patching file gcc/ginclude/stddef.h
Hunk #1 succeeded at 239 (offset -3 lines).
patch unexpectedly ends in middle of line
Hunk #3 succeeded at 294 with fuzz 1 (offset -3 lines).

patch unexpectedly ends in middle of line  - that's not good. what 
could be the matter there? i notice a comment style that i recognize 
from c as in:

/* words words words

isn't closed with a */  is that the problem? i tried fixing that and 
got this which is a bit better i think but still not there:

Hunk #1 succeeded at 239 (offset -3 lines).
Hunk #2 succeeded at 279 with fuzz 1.
patch unexpectedly ends in middle of line
Hunk #3 succeeded at 294 with fuzz 1 (offset -3 lines).
