That's why there's a script (scripts/build_toolchain.sh) to build it :-)

You downloaded GCC, but GCC itself is quite useless without an
assembler (vax-linux-uclibc-as).  Because GCC builds libgcc.a, which
already contains VAX code, you need to have a working assembler before
starting to build GCC.

So you'd first go and download/build/install the binutils package.

Check-out the "toolchain" module (SF.net CVS). Read the scripts/README
file, set-up your vax_toolchain_config, download all the stuff with
initial_cvs_checkout.sh and build it with build_toolchain.sh .
