From the gccinstall.info file:

       First, we *highly* recommend that GCC be built into a separate
   directory than the sources which does *not* reside within the source
   tree.  This is how we generally build GCC; building where SRCDIR ==
   OBJDIR should still work, but doesn't get extensive testing; building
   where OBJDIR is a subdirectory of SRCDIR is unsupported.

I've never had problems with having OBJDIR as a subdir of SRCDIR, but
that doesn't make it a fact that it works correctly.

Not sure if it's worth a bug report or not.
