I do !

$ ../gcc-4.1.2/configure  --disable-win32-registry --disable-nls
--enable-optimize --prefix=/mingw --enable-sjlj-exceptions --disable-shared
--enable-threads --without-x --with-ld=/mingw/bin/ld
$ make CFLAGS="-O2 -fomit-frame-pointer" CXXFLAGS="-mthreads
-fno-omit-frame-pointer -O2" LDFLAGS=-s bootstrap2

i got some info there :
  http://www.mingw.org/MinGWiki/index.php/How%20to%20Compile%20GCC%204.1
But that was not so complicated :-)
(bison and flex are only needed with a snapshot, not with a release)

I can't get GNUstep  work with gcc libobjc (i posted here some weeks ago about
that) because this library is build as static and should be shared...
(--enable-shared=libobjc does not work ?!)
I dont really understand :-\
