I don't seem to have a working C compiler so am unable to do the initial config. I seem to recall that at one time there was a bootstrap option that made it possible to build gcc w/o having a compiler on one's system, but I haven't managed to find it for gcc 3.3.1 (I considered pulling down a binary version for Solaris but I don't have admin privileges and need to install in a user directory).
Thanks in advance for any help!

No, you can't build GCC from sources if you don't have a working C compiler installed.
But you can find prebuilt binaries for most OSes - see <http://gcc.gnu.org/install/binaries.html>. If you're using Linux, all the distributions I'm aware of ship a working GCC with them, usually from the 3.2 release, so you should find it on you CDs or downloadable from the distributor's site.
Happy compileg, .fwyzard.
