Nice! Some things I could suggest to speed up that 4 hour build time:

1. try "make" instead of "make bootstrap". Since Apple uses gcc 3.3, the 
native compiler should be able to build gcc 3.4 without needing a full 
bootstrap cycle.
2. try "--disable-static" on your configure command. This will only 
build dynamic (dylib) libraries and not static (.a). If you dont need 
the static libraries, it should halve your build time.
