https://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/InstallingGCC is not a huge script, it's a very
small number of commands.

You can use git bisect to simplify things, but if you don't have a small
reproducer for the problem then I don't see how you can avoid doing a full
build and install. With a simple reproducer, you can just great using the
cc1 or cc1plus binary in the build tree, without installing anything.
