 Could you try building in a separate build directory and lets us know what
 happens?

 It's supported, but fragile, and patches to make it cleaner have been
 rejected.  The next point release (3.1.1) should have this fixed.
 
 Note that building in a separate directory is /strongly/ recommended by
 the installation docs.

 It works.  Is building within the gcc directory no longer supported?

>Description:
When attempting to build a cross compiler for powerpc-linux, the build proceeds until the configure script for libstdc++-v3 is executed.  This script fails with the message "configure: error: can not find install-sh or install.sh in . ./.. ./../..".  The directory in which the script is executed is "gcc-3.1/powerpc-linux/nof/libstdc++-v3"; thus, it does not find the install-sh file in the root of the gcc source tree.

There appears to be a similar problem with config.sub.
