I downloaded hebisch-gpc-8249f1b.tar.gz from https://github.com/hebisch/gpc and gcc-core-4.3.5.tar.bz2 from my friendly neighborhood mirror, extracted the source, created the soft links as instructed, applied the patch (gcc-4.3.5.diff) and configured as follows:
../gcc-4.3.5/configure --enable-languages=all --disable-mapped-location \ --program-suffix=435
After much compiling, I get the following:
cat: ../../../gcc-4.3.5/libgpc/../gcc/BASE-VER: No such file or directory make[2]: Entering directory

cat: ../../../gcc-4.3.5/libgpc/../gcc/BASE-VER: No such file or directory make[3]: Entering directory `/usr/local/src/gcc/x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/libgpc' make[3]: *** No rule to make target `../../../gcc-4.3.5/libgpc/../gcc/p/rts/Makefile.in', needed by `p/rts/Makefile'. Stop.

The question is, how do I proceed... or more specifically, what is BASE_VER and how do I create it?
BASE_VER is part of gcc source. Did you copy the `libgpc' subdirectory as instructed? If you used symliks for `libgpc', then the path `../../../gcc-4.3.5/libgpc/../gcc/BASE-VER' will lead to wrong place. Normally this symlinks resolves to `../../../gcc-4.3.5/gcc/BASE-VER' which is present in distributed gcc sources.
