This method of building is not well supported (see the GCC installation documentation). If you're not prepared to debug and fix the problems you find to help make this model work, then you should use the model everyone else uses. You should delete this source directory and extract it clean from the tar file, then you should build GCC in a separate directory, something like: $ rm -rf gcc-4.7.2 $ tar xjf gcc-4.7.2.tar.bz2 $ cd gcc-4.7.2 $ ./contrib/download_prerequisites $ mkdir ../obj $ cd ../obj $ ../gcc-4.7.2/configure ... $ make -j4 (or whatever -j you like) If that still doesn't work please re-request help.
