Its easy to do, if you didn't know.

1) Compile the gcc directory by hand.
2) It will fail before building libgcc, but thats okay.
3) make install in the gcc directory.
4) This will fail before it installs libgcc, but thats okay, it will
   install the compiler.
5) make clean and make again -- this time everything builds.
