Here is what I did...

1. Build and install binutils (GNU )
1a. ./configure --prefix=/usr/local --target=h8300-hitachi-hms
1b. make
1c. make install

2. Extract egcs from RedHat 5.1 source cd (Disk 2)
2a. rpm -ihv egcs-1.0.2-8.src.rpm
2b. gzip -dc egc1-1.0.2.tar.gz | tar xvf -

3. Build gcc
3a. ./configure --prefix=/usr/local --target=h8300-hitachi-hms
3b. make -k LANGUAGES=c
3c. make -k install
