I'm fairly certain that you cannot build g++ or g77 in isolation;
you must build them along with gcc itself, in one fell swoop, so
you need gcc-core-3.4.5-20060117-1-src.tar.gz at least, plus each
of the language component tarballs for the same version, for each
additional language that you need.  You then use the

  --enable-languages=c,c++,f77,...

build option to select those you require.

Good luck.  AFAIK, Danny cross-builds our binary distributions
on Cygwin; I cross-build my own on GNU/Linux.  I've never tried
a local build, on a Win32 host, nor am I ever likely to.
