We document
@item ISO C++11 compiler
Necessary to bootstrap GCC.
...
To build all languages in a cross-compiler or other configuration where
3-stage bootstrap is not performed, you need to start with an existing
GCC binary (version 4.8 or later) because source code for language
frontends other than C might use GCC extensions.
Note that to bootstrap GCC with versions of GCC earlier than 4.8, you
may need to use @option{--disable-stage1-checking}, though
bootstrapping the compiler with such earlier compilers is strongly
discouraged.
while the second paragraph suggests GCC 4.8 or later works
(which IMHO includes GCC 4.8.1), the general requirement
lists a C++11 compiler which appearantly GCC 4.8.1 isn't ;)
So for simplicity I'd suggest to be more precise and say
4.8.2 or later (if 4.8.2 works)
