That's the key word *might*. What I read is that it hasn't had extensive testing. I should never have tried a build directory inside the source tree though because that is definately not supported.
Even when doing so causes your build to fail, and not doing so causes it to succeed?
That's quite probably then what the problem was. This is the first version of gcc I've ever compiled that wasn't within the source directory. This version is evidently a "bird of a different feather".
