The GCC source distribution is designed to be configured/built on a
variety of systems with a POSIX shell.  Since Windows lacks a native POSIX
shell, it cannot build GCC from source without some help.

Within the online installation guide you may have seen the platform
specific notes:

http://gcc.gnu.org/install/specific.html#windows

which would have taken you to the Cygwin pages.  From there you can
download the requisite software to build GCC natively.
