Rebuilding gcc with itself should be unneccessary as gcc does the same thing
as part of its normal make (phase 1 of make is to build gcc with local
compiler, phase 2 builds finall gcc with compiler from gcc). Avoiding this
rebuild could save a lot of time. Rebuilding make with gcc is probably
appropriate though.
