Totally seconded.

Paolo, I have been running into this myself and was confused at
first.  If that happens to me, building GCC for some 20 years,
imagine a new user.

This is really something to be identified at configure time,
with a reasonable error message.

If FX's specific patch is not ideal yet, can you help rework it?
That would be great.
