Even natively I would recommend a two (or three) step process.  When I 
build a newer version of GCC from source I usually build C only, then 
rebuild binutils with the newly built gcc.  Then rebuild C and others 
with those.  This helps me avoid possible ABI changes by rebuilding 
libraries with the newer ABI.
