Regenerating the GCC configure etc. isn't trivial. (I can't remember the
magics involved to make it work.) They shouldn't need regenerating
anyway.

From the top level of your source tree, run either:

    contrib/gcc_update --touch
or
    contrib/egcs_update --touch

and it should leave most of the pregenerated files alone. (2.95 has
egcs_update and 3+ has gcc_update but I don't know which one 2.96 has.)

This might instead be a make bug - but if you're running GNU/Linux then
you probably already have GNU make.

Rup.
