Since NetBSDs native compiler is GCC, how does one go about getting a
stage 1 compiler built using the most recent sources available (2.8.0)?
The documentation that ships with the source states that you should not
use GCC to create the stage 1 compiler as it will cause some sort of
recursive reference in a library that is created.  By default, the
configure script creates makefiles that try to use CC to build the stage
1 compiler, obviously this can't be found on the system.  Is there a
simple solution I am overlooking, or am I stuck using the version of GCC
shipped with the current release of NetBSD?  Thanks in advance for the
help,
