There are other ways, as explained at https://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/Installing GCC (e.g. install the prerequisites from your OS package manager). Either install them from the package manager, *or* use the contrib/download_prerequisites script so they get statically linked into GCC, *or* do it the hard way and know *exactly* what you're doing. If you don't know exactly what you're doing then do not choose the hard way.
