You don't need to install GCC from source code to work on the front-end. You can always write dynamic pluggable front-end passes. --- | I downloaded gcc4.4.6 core package (tar file) , Unzipped it and tried following | ./configure \-- You should never run configure from the top-level directory. It is customary in GNU packages to create a separate build/ directory inside the sources, and run configure in it. Please go through the slides and documentation from the GCC Resource Center at IIT, Bombay [1] on working on front-end passes, and the GCC wiki [2] page for compiling from sources.
