I used ./configure make LANGUAGES=c make stage1 make CC="stage1/xgcc -Bstage1/" CFLAGS="-g -O" make install to install gcc. There are parameters you may want to give to ./configure to specify where you want the files (the default is /usr/local) but I don't find appropriate to put executables in /usr/bin when they are not handled by dpkg: if you do you invalidate its database, and that may cause you troubles. > What should I be reading to instruct me on this stage of the update of gcc? There should be a 'INSTALL' file explaining this and giving pointers to other documentations.
