You don't say what your target is?

I wrote up building a native compiler for FSF GCC 4.8.0 (and sone
earlier ones, too). You need to be sure to configure with --disable-nls
(or people with a non-English $LANG with get mixed-up compiler
error/warning messages).

GNAT GPL 2013 came with a library called gnat_util, and I'm guessing
that 2014 will too (it handles the units common to the compiler, ASIS,
and GNATColl). I made an equivalent for FSF GCC; the README at [2]
contains some useful hints.
