I have no enough to run the gdb to debug ld now.

I can not know why your build failed without the exact error messages, but I
think this may be caused by your Linux not have the proper version of gmp, mpfr
and mpc develop packages.

Packages necessary for building GCC 4.6:
http://gcc.gnu.org/install/prerequisites.html

GMP 4.3.2 (or later)
MPFR 2.4.2 (or later)
MPC 0.8.1 (or later)

FC14:
http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/releases/14/Fedora/source/SRPMS/
gmp-4.3.1-7.fc14.src.rpm
mpfr-2.4.2-1.fc13.src.rpm
libmpc-0.8.1-1.fc13.src.rpm

FC15:
http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/releases/test/15-Alpha/Fedora/source/SRPMS/
gmp-4.3.2-3.fc15.src.rpm
mpfr-3.0.0-4.fc15.src.rpm
libmpc-0.8.3-0.3.svn855.fc15.src.rpm

RHEL6:
http://ftp.scientificlinux.org/linux/scientific/6/SRPMS/vendor/
gmp-4.3.1-7.el6.src.rpm
mpfr-2.4.1-6.el6.src.rpm

If the answer is yes, then you must use FC15 or upgrade your gmp, mpfr and mpc
develop packages yourself.
