Ok. That is what I have been doing:

# cd bin/gcc-debug
# ../../../egcs/gcc/configure 
# make bootstrap
# make install
# cd ../egcs
# ../../../egcs/configure
# make
# make check
# make install

BTW, egcs/configure is broken for linux or any native
platforms. I have sent in this patch to fix it for linux:

Mon Aug 25 17:31:49 1997  H.J. Lu  (hjl@gnu.ai.mit.edu)

	* configure (prefix): Initialized to NONE. Set to
	${native_prefix} for Linux or ${default_prefix} for others if
	it is NONE.
	(default_prefix): New. Initialized to /usr/local.
	(native_prefix): New. Initialized to /usr.

to fix it. But I got no positive reponse.
