> "make" worked fine with gcc-3.4.x, gcc-3.3.x, gcc-2.9x etc.
Yes, but it's wrong up to (and including) 4.1.x. We only guarantee that the
compiler correctly compiles itself ("bootstraps"), not that it is correctly
compiled by other compilers at random optimization levels.

No, this has always been documented:
@section Building a native compiler
For a native build issue the command @samp{make bootstrap}. This
will build the entire GCC system, which includes the following steps:
@itemize @bullet
@item
Build host tools necessary to build the compiler such as texinfo, bison,
gperf.
@item
Build target tools for use by the compiler such as binutils (bfd,
binutils, gas, gprof, ld, and opcodes)
if they have been individually linked
or moved into the top level GCC source tree before configuring.
@item
Perform a 3-stage bootstrap of the compiler.
@item
Perform a comparison test of the stage2 and stage3 compilers.
@item
Build runtime libraries using the stage3 compiler from the previous step.
@end itemize
