I found the right way to compile it ... I really didn't have much knowledge of how to compile gcc (my first time) after reading through the FAQ of building gcc I found the problem. it turned out that I had to run the configure script and make from outside the source directory ( I called it gcc-build) so the directory list looked like this

gcc-source/
gcc-build/

then everything compiled smoothly here's the link to the FAQ http://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/FAQ#configure
