I am curious as to why the make messages contain
    '/mnt/winD/linux/gcc-3.3.3/' instead.

IIRC, only java uses libffi. So if you don't need java, you could try
    adding '--enable-languages=c,c++' to your configure line.

I believe it supposed to be 'make bootstrap-lean' that is, no space
    between 'bootstrap' and '-lean'.
