This is completely different from what you first asked about. When you do a bootstrap build GCC gets built three times, and gets built by itself, i.e. with "the new compiler" that has just been built (but not installed yet, until you do "make install"). What you're trying to do is just build GCC with some already installed compiler, that is not the /usr/bin/g++ system compiler. That's not "the new compiler", it's just some existing compiler that is already installed. The fact that in your case the already installed compiler happens to be the same version as the one you're building is irrelevant. It's just some other compiler which happens to be already installed.
