Thank you for getting back to me.
I ran ./contrib/download_prerequisites as it states in the FAQ.
I then configured like this:
../gcc-4.8.1/configure --prefix=/home/mdl/ids103/gcc-4.8.1-install
--with-ld=/home/mdl/ids103/binutils-2.24-install/bin
--with-as=/home/mdl/ids103/binutils-2.24-install/bin
I used --prefix because I do not have sudo permissions to install in
default directory. I use --with-ld and --with-as because the default
installed versions are old and the software that I will be compiling
requires newer versions of the binutils.
Unfortunately, I still get the same error.

Hi,
Okay, now I configured like this:
../gcc-4.8.1/configure --prefix=/home/mdl/ids103/gcc-4.8.1-install
--enable-shared --enable-threads=posix --enable-__cxa_atexit
--enable-clocale=gnu --enable-lto --enable-languages=c,c++,fortran
--with-ld=/home/mdl/ids103/binutils-2.24-install/bin

--with-gmp=/home/mdl/ids103/install
--with-mpfr=/home/mdl/ids103/install
--with-mpc=/home/mdl/ids103/install
I started the build, and 10 minutes into it, I get this error:

Read the link I gave you. It links to the FAQ explaining this error:
https://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/FAQ#configure_suffix
And it also shows a much simpler way to build GCC that avoids this
problem. Stop trying to do it the complicated way.
Did you forcibly remove the config.cache? Likely you're getting the
same error because of that. The approach you're using (recommended by
Jonathan) definitely works. If you're in doubt, remove the directory
you're trying to build into, but use rm -f, like so:
$ find . -name config.cache -exec rm -f {} \;
That will clear your cache from any previous failed configuration attempts.
