Thanks for the info, I will add it to the next edition of the FAQ.

No, no, no, this is a wrong way.  You don't need autogen to build GCC: 
the results of running autogen are already in the distribution.  I don't 
remember the details, but the fixincl program should just build and run,
using the files and scripts that are in the distribution.

So some other factor is at work here.  Perhaps the time stamp of some 
file is incorrect, and that causes the build process to want to remake 
its dependencies.  Please look closer at this step; there should be no 
need to rerun genfixes at all.
