just for the record, the above would never work,
simply because upstream instruction (from gcc folks)
dictate that the sources of a gcc build are a more rich set of sources (mpfr 
etc).

Going with the by-default provided easyconfigs is the recommended approach
if you are a newcomer in this business, and inspecting the easyblocks
gives you a good idea of what EB does for you under the hood.
Esp. the GCC easyblock is a very good one and an educating read for newcomers.
(N.B. defined class is "EB_GCC", which is calculated from the package name)

enjoy,
Fotis
