If you have chosen a configuration for GNU CC which requires other GNU

Now you can proceed just as for compiling a single-machine compiler

Do not try to build stage 2 for a cross-compiler. It doesn't work to
rebuild GNU CC as a cross-compiler using the cross-compiler, because
that would produce a program that runs on the target machine, not on the
