Umm, no, that's not what I'm doing. I already have the gcc binaries
installed, and they work fine.

Doesn't sound likely. a) well it must work for other people  b) [and
again]  c) not likely, I'm using GNU make.

Yes, it's being run, hence the contents of stage1.log

Well it should be - I'm using the provided batch file, which is meant
to do everything for me. Most of these issues you are pointing out,
well, shouldn't be issues.

As I said, the Makefile did look weird - no targets specified. But it
is a generated makefile, using Makefile.in as a template. Perhaps this
is the step that is going wrong? I still wouldn't have a clue how to
fix it though.
