I'm trying to upgrade gcc to 2.7.2

I have the file gcc-2.7.0.bin.tar.gz  (4,094 KB)
and the file    gcc-2.7.2-linux_diff.gz  (3 KB)

What do I do with these now?

This is what I want to do:

cd /
gzip -dc gcc-27.0.bin.tar.gz | tar xvvf -

then to add the patch:

gzip -dc ...../gcc-2.7.2-linux.diff.gz | patch -p2

IS THIS RIGHT?  WILL i DESTROY MY SYSTEM?
The problem is I don't know how to add the patch.
How do you do it?

THANKS!
