Required versions of gmp/mpfr/mpc clearly stated in the docs: http://gcc.gnu.org/install/prerequisites.html I'm not sure how you could miss that. cloog/ppl/isl are not required (unless you want the optional Graphite loop optimisation support) Systemtap is not required. If you have it, it needs to be a fairly recent version. http://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/InstallingGCC gives a foolproof recipe.
