I want to install GCC 4.3.2 on Mint 15. I'm aware of there's no package in repository so I'm trying to do it compiling source (though it's first time for me). I have downloaded source from some mirror listed on gnu.com. I read that instaling gcc from source is essentially 3 commands
./configure
make install
I manage to ./configure though I'm not sure I done it properly so. First of all I want to keep gcc 4.7.3 as it is. So I found following switch
--program-suffix=-4.3
which should install gcc instead of ../gcc (where the default gcc is) in ../gcc-4.3
When I run it I encoutered problem of missing 2 arithmetic libs (mpfr & gmp). After I installed them ./configure run and create makefile
After that I decide to run make
Which is another troublesome because it return errors which I do not understand bellow I gave link to output produced by make (~27000 lines) and finally I post some of ending lines from the file, maybe someone would be able to figure out whats wrong using them. Thanks in advance for any response or solution of how can I install gcc 4.3.2 next to gcc 4.7.3.

You're missing some header files which should be in the libc6-dev package - check if you have it installed.
