  Ah, good ol' 24196, I know it well :)

  Alternatively you can just use '--enable-fully-dynamic-string' when
configuring.  It amounts to pretty much the same thing.

  The default -B directory is derived from your --prefix setting.  The
directory you're mentioning there looks like your build directory, maybe?

  Are you sure you remembered to run "make install"?  You can't run gcc
directly out of the build directory without using -B.

  Also, I'm not sure why you'd want to go messing around with
GCC_EXEC_PREFIX.  Your initial compiler ought to work fine without it and it
might interfere with the new one or confuse the build process.
