Hello Peter and Jo, and thank you for the advice ! Sorry for continuing bothering you, but every time I do make some progress, and now I just cannot give up!
"make bootstrap" now has no problems of big TOC - after creating "mbchar.c", as both of you told me. "make" failed once after not finding "stage1/xgcc" when working in "gcc/p/rts", and I simply made a symbolic link of "gcc/stage1" to "gcc/p/rts", and it helped. Still, the compilation fails as follows (I broke long lines somehow arbitrarily; I believe, warnings are not important, but just after this series of warnings it fails to create "heap.o").

Stop. ---------------- Thank you ...
