Trying to build gcc from src package

I want to be able to recompile the gcc-3.4.1 so that I can work out a
kludge for the problem I've been having - that is, programs compiled
with '-mno-cygwin -fprofile-arcs' can't open the output file to write
the arc-profiling data. I'm having a lot of trouble.
What I want to know is, given a working XP box and a fresh install of
every cygwin binary package (except mhash, whose install script
crashes) plus the gcc-3.4.1-core source package, is it possible to
follow the instructions in the accompanying README file and end up
with a working compiler? The number and variety of difficulties I'm
encountering suggest it's not something I should be trying to do.
Many thanks and best regards,
Richard.
