The tricky part in building GCC yourself is not getting the sources,
but the fact that you need a unix system with a crosscompiler to build
everything. And, I use snapshot binutils (gas) and those sources are not
public.

With sufficient thrust, pigs fly just fine. However, this is not
necessarily a good idea. It is hard to be sure where they are going
to land, and it could be dangerous sitting under them as they fly
overhead.  -- RFC1925.
