To put some emphasis on this, it took several developers quite a bit of time to work out how to upgrade their systems (far longer than the cvs checkins may indicate). The instructions are supposed to work, but nobody has really tested them, because the people who wrote them wrote them after the fact, after upgrading the hard way. Unless you're going to submit a patch that identifies the missing step in the directions, just use a snapshot. A lot of effort is expended trying to get snapshots out quickly after toolchain changes, precisely to make things easy for people. Even if you think you can figure out building from the source, the polite thing to do is to use the snapshots anyway. :)
