Those instructions are for the current release of GCC.

See the bundled instructions in the 3.0.1 tarball. You *might* find that 3.0.1 doesn't build with 4.1.2 (e.g. if it relies on non-portable code which was not accepted by GCC 4.1), in which case one option is to use 4.1.2 to build another old version, say 3.4.5, then use that to build the earlier version.
