On 5 May 2005, Saurabh Bhatnagar uttered the following:

Please read the installation guide. You cannot build GCC in an
objdir that is a subdirectory of the GCC source tree: you must
build it in a parallel directory (e.g. /user/sbhatnag/gcc-build,
running configure via a relative path, as ../gcc-3.4.2/configure).

This has been true pretty much forever (certainly since gcc-2.7.2).

(I don't know if this is causing your problem, but I've seen *exactly*
that error when generating with an objdir as a subdirectory of the
GCC source tree before.)
