help with compiling gcc-4.1.2 on CentOS 6.3 x64

[Han Jiang]

i followed this tutorial and compiled 4.1.2 successfully.

../gcc-4.1.2/configure --prefix=/opt/gcc412 --program-suffix=412
--enable-shared --enable-threads=posix --enable-checking=release
--disable-libunwind-exceptions --enable-__cxa_atexit
--disable-multilib

then change Makefile line
MAKEINFO = /opt/YOURUSERNAME/newlib-1.15.0/missing makeinfo

 to:

MAKEINFO = makeinfo

then:
make -j 2 bootstrap

compilation succeeded then.
