I'm fairly new to Linux, and I was trying to compile the latest 3.3.3 gcc, 
when I kept running into illegal instruction errors.

I eventually tried using an absolute path when specifying the configure 
script location instead of a relative path - once I did that, I was able to 
run configure.

I don't know if that applys to everyone, but if it does - I've update the 
configure page of the installation instructions to indicate the use of an 
absolute path. (1 line under the "To configure GCC block")

Scenario:
I su-ed to root
srcdir was /home/southard/gcc-3.3.3
target was /home/southard/gcc-target

/home/southard/gcc-target#../gcc-3.3.3/configure
(this bombed out on my computer - basic Slackware 9.1 install)

/home/southard/gcc-target#/home/southard/gcc-3.3.3/configure
(this worked on my computer)

--End scenario--

I have attached to modified configure.html if you wish to update the 
installation documentation with it.

Regards,
James Southard
