 Why did you think that --program-suffix is supported?  The supported
 configure options are listed in gcc/doc/install.texi (and the generated
 HTML documentation in the INSTALL directory in releases); --program-suffix
 is deliberately (i.e., when adding standard configure options such as
 --bindir to the GCC documentation, I deliberately did not add
 --program-suffix) not listed there.

 It is given as an answer to ./configure --help and processed by 
 configure. So it should at least be removed there.
