The full process of building GCC is documented at
http://gcc.gnu.org/install/ which you apparently haven't read, despite
spending several days insisting someone must be able to help you,
because downloading the sources is described at
http://gcc.gnu.org/install/download.html and you don't even seem to
have got that far yet.  You should really all read those docs first.
