5.5.1. Installation of GCC Pass 1

"

GCC now requires the GMP and MPFR packages. As these packages may not be included in your host distribution, they will be built with GCC.

tar -jxf ../mpfr-2.3.2.tar.bz2 mv mpfr-2.3.2 mpfr tar -jxf ../gmp-4.2.4.tar.bz2 mv gmp-4.2.4 gmp"

yet no build instructions.

a standard build of gmp with ../configure prefix=/tools && make && make install doesn't install gmp.h so that mpfr can find it. This causes mpfr to fail on ./configure. And gcc fails on ./configure without these packages installed.

You do not build these packages. You just follow the instructions in the book.
