Unpatched gcc doesn't work on recent debian/ubuntu. Maybe this should be 
stated somewhere prominently in the build instructions?

export LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu

is usually enough to build gcc. When you use the resulting compiler, you 
will still need this variable, and in addition you'll need to add 
/usr/include/x86_64-linux-gnu to C_INCLUDE_PATH (and the c++/obj 
variants).
