As I posted some time ago you can ignore that error.
I got gcc2.4.5 up and running the following way:

/configure i386--bsd
make LANGUAGES=c
make stage1
make "CC=./stage1/xgcc -B./stage1/" CFLAGS="-g -O"
make stage2
make "CC=./stage2/xgcc -B./stage2/" CFLAGS="-g -O"
make compare
make install

This worked for me on a 486DX266 EISA machine, so you shouldn't
have problems with it either.
