Where did you unzip that to?

That package doesn't include the headers
in any case, which is part of your problem.

Neither does it include the crti.o, so it's of no use for him as such.

Donn: You need to bootstrap a Haiku image containing the build tools from BeOS or Linux etc. Then you can try to build Haiku within Haiku. Self-hosting will be a feature of the upcoming Alpha release, it is not yet fully supported.

That it's actually possible to run tools and start developing anything on Haiku, as quoted above, doesn't mean it's possible using arbitrary images.

Alternatively, build a Haiku image from, e.g., Linux and copy over / boot/develop/headers and /boot/develop/lib. That should allow you to run the gcc you downloaded.
