configure: error: Building GCC requires GMP 4.2+, MPFR 3.1.0+ and MPC 0.8.0+.
Try the --with-gmp, --with-mpfr and/or --with-mpc options to specify
Source code for these libraries can be found at
their respective hosting sites as well as at
https://gcc.gnu.org/pub/gcc/infrastructure/. See also
http://gcc.gnu.org/install/prerequisites.html for additional info. If
you obtained GMP, MPFR and/or MPC from a vendor distribution package,
make sure that you have installed both the libraries and the header
files. They may be located in separate packages.

From the log, we can see the following error, so we install each of them: configure: error: Building GCC requires GMP 4.2+, MPFR 3.1.0+ and MPC 0.8.0+.

[root@jeames007 ~]# make -j4
Make takes a very long time. Please wait patiently. It took me 1 hour to compile. So if conditions permit, you can use make -j8 when compiling.

[root@jeames007 build]# make install

At this time, the GCC version has not been updated yet, so the following operations are required

mv /usr/bin/gcc /usr/bin/gcc485
mv /usr/bin/g++ /usr/bin/g++485
mv /usr/bin/c++ /usr/bin/c++485
mv /usr/bin/cc /usr/bin/cc485


ln -s /usr/local/gcc-10.1.0/bin/gcc /usr/bin/gcc
ln -s /usr/local/gcc-10.1.0/bin/g++ /usr/bin/g++
ln -s /usr/local/gcc-10.1.0/bin/c++ /usr/bin/c++
ln -s /usr/local/gcc-10.1.0/bin/gcc /usr/bin/cc


mv /usr/lib64/libstdc++.so.6 /usr/lib64/libstdc++.so.6.bak
ln -s /usr/local/gcc-10.1.0/lib64/libstdc++.so.6.0.28 /usr/lib64/libstdc++.so.6


After the script is successfully executed, you can view the currently used gcc version. The command to view is: gcc -v
