Use anything you are comfortable with and I recommend either Debian 9 or
a recent Red Hat Enterprise Linux. Be sure to build the dependencies as
you will need libgmp and libmpfr and a few others.

This question doesn't really make sense. You don't install a distro
just to build GCC, you build GCC to use with your existing system.
What are you trying to achieve? If you just want to use GCC, every
GNU/Linux distro already provides GCC packages for you. Just install a
recent distro and you'll have a recent GCC.

No, don't build the dependencies manually to build GCC (except in
special circumstances, and if you're asking this question that doesn't
apply to you). See https://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/InstallingGCC
