This part should be unnecessary.  gcc_update takes care of this when
building from CVS.

Besides, there are other errors:

* It isn't necessary to specify --enable-languages: if you have an
  Ada-capable gcc as a bootstrap compiler, the ada backend will be built
  automatically.

* Nowadays gnatmake *is* required since it is used to build xgnatug.

* While make gnatlib_and_tools doesn't work in parallel, parallel bootstrap
  itself works fine.

As I've indicated before, the current support for building with different
Ada and C compilers should be removed in favor of requiring a gcc that
includes GNAT if Ada support is desired.
