Hi,
Thanks for your suggestion. It turns out that I didn't have c-parse.c so I installed Bison. However, when I tried to rebuild gcc after following the instructions that were suggested below, I still encountered some problems.
When I logged the errors into a .txt file I got:

Do you have any suggestions that would enable me to fix the errors?
