GUB first builds a "light" version of the toolchain, then uses
that "light" version to build the "full" version.  I have a vague
recollection that the "light" version is called -core.  If that's
true, then GUB should (with emphasis on /should/) be using
gcc-core to build gcc.

That said, I've never been able to build GUB on anything other
than ubuntu 10.04.  Are you using 11.10 ?  I've definitely failed
on that OS.
