Hello,
I installed a mint Ubuntu 12.04, ran the updates and then downloaded
the tar for gcc-4.7.0.
Untar'ed it.
./configure
make -j4
then it showed this:
make[4]: Leaving directory `/home/UserPC/Downloads/gcc-4.

I did some background search, the predefs.h error seems to occur when
trying to install a 32 bit binary on a 64 bit Linux.
But My Linux is 32 bit, I double checked that with uname -m, it was i686.
Also something worth mentioning, when I installed GMP from source, its
configuration file showed a waring saying : gmp.h and libgmp are of
different versions 5.0.5 and 5.0.2 respectively.
Pretty clueless right now, would really appreciate it if anyone could
help. Also, apologies, if this is a repost.
Regards
