i've downloaded gcc-4.2.4 from gnu.org and configured it as follows:
// unpacking gcc in $SRCDIR
$ tar -C $HOME/src/ -xvjf gcc-4.2.4.tar.bz2
// creating build directory $BLDDIR
$ mkdir $HOME/src/gcc.build
// entering build dir
$ cd $BLDDIR
//configure gcc
$ $SRCDIR/configure --prefix=/usr --enable-shared --disable-nls
//building
$ make bootstrap
//checking
$ make check
//installing
# make install
