I think he means that you should use the standard GCC package that can be installed using whatever package manager your Linux distribution has (i.e: apt/yum/yast) Building a compiler from source code is not an easy task, it has dependencies with at least a C library, such as glibc. And I don't know if you need binutils source code also to compile (I have never compile GCC from scratch). Why an standard GCC installation doesn't fit your needs? Even if you need a cross tool-chain for a not so common arch, you have projects like Ptxdist and Crosstool that automates the tool-chain compilation.
