Installing GCC:Configuration (GCC-4.3.2)

[Franklyn Simon]

Hi
Please help

I download gcc-g++4.3.2 and uncompressed it along with the 
prerequisites tar files in directory (/opt).  I am confused as to the 
srcdir and objdir mentioned in Install GCC: Configuration.

Is the toplevel source directory the same directory (/opt) where the 
files are uncompressed?

Also, can you please expand on the below

To configure GCC:
%  mkdir objdir
%  cd objdir
%s  srcdir/configure [options] [target]


Thanks for all you help
