How to compile and install only one compile in GCC?

[Peng Yu]

Hi,

I think that we have been talking about different configure files. I
found the following two configure files. You were talking about the
first one. But I were talking about the second one.

$ ls gcc-4.3.4/gcc/configure
gcc-4.3.4/gcc/configure
$ ls gcc-4.3.4/configure
gcc-4.3.4/configure

Question: If I want to install any compile in GCC, I should go to the
directory 'gcc' then run configure, right? What is the usage of the
second configure file?

Regards,
Peng
