cc is the general name by which a c compiler is called. The simplest way 
to build gcc is simply to install gcc. However this creates a cirular 
problem in your case! Suse (along with I hope every linux distribution) 
comes with a gcc package. Look in your distributions instructions on how 
to install packages which come with it, and install gcc from there.
