It's highly recommended that you use the full pathname for configure;
there are various other problems that people have seen when using a
relative pathname.  Instead of:

  cd gcc-build
  ../gcc/configure ... options ...

use:

  srcdir=`pwd`/gcc
  cd gcc-build
  ${srcdir}/configure ... options ...

If other developers think that relative pathnames should be supported,
I'll take a closer look at your patch.
