gcc3.4.0 install problem

[Bras, Gerard]

This raises an interesting question which the install docs have not clarified to my satisfaction.  Suppose you already have a working gcc tool chain and you are doing what the original poster is, getting a later release up.  Are there make targets more suitable for this?  It has always seemed a little odd to me to have to do the bootstrap every time.

You dont need bootstrap, unless you want to work on gcc itself.
