Hello, all.
Just found this file in my e-mail atchive, hope it will be useful for somebody.

Some small rules:
1) No blankspace in the paths to the top-level directories.
2) Add paths to binaries to your system PATH variable.
3) Use short paths to top-level directories.
1. Some checks & preparations.
1) Be sure, that you're using right make version:
$ make --version
GNU Make version 3.79.1, by Richard Stallman and Roland McGrath.
Built for i686-pc-msys

2) Some patching:
Go to gcc\gcc directory, open Makefile.in file.
Find lines:
INCLUDES = -I. -I$(@D) -I$(srcdir) -I$(srcdir)/$(@D) \
-I$(srcdir)/../include @INCINTL@
Change them to:
INCLUDES = -I. -I$(@D) -I$(srcdir) -I$(srcdir)/$(@D) \
-I$(srcdir)/../include @INCINTL@ -IPREFIX/include
Note: use forward slashes for PREFIX, e.g.
-If:/projects/mingw
2. Possible issues.
1) Problem: Complains about *.info files.
Resolutions: There are know miscompartibilities between msys makeinfo
file and GCC's sources. Either use makeinfo from cygwin,
or just remove msys' version out.
2) Problem: Complains about gthr-default.h file.
Resolution: Grab gcc/gcc/gthr-win32.h file and copy it to gthr-default.h
3) Problem: Complains about "CL_ObjCXX" and simular ("CL_") during
compilation c-opts.c.
Resolution: Turn off windows file protection, remove system32\sort.exe
file. After, check, that sort --version tells you, that it
is sort 2.0 (GNU textutils).
4) Problem: Complains about files sitting in your PATH (or above), but,
actually had not found.
Resolution: Check your directories for the trailing '\'. It should not
be used! (E.g. c:\winnt - right, c:\winnt\ - wrong).
5) Problem: Complains about find.exe while building libstdc++.
Resolution: Look into issue 3) and remove windows' find.exe.
You should you GNU's one.
