Maybe someone could define what the "build gcc" means here... Even in a
slow 550 MHz P-III PC with Fedora 8 the GCC build for C and C++ took
only 1 h 17 minutes... Some kind of multi-stage build with several
builds for GCC?  Not just producing a GCC with the current production
GCC?  Like with a crosscompiler...
