It looks as if you are building in the source directory; is that correct? The installation producedures strongly recommend that GCC be built in a separate directory, e.g. mkdir objdir cd objdir ../gcc-3.3/configure ... make bootstrap make install Sometimes building in the source directory works, but there are enough weird problems that can happen with it that it's not recommended, and there are once again discussions about whether it ought to be supported.
