I had taken some look on g77 as you suggested, before I made the port.
According to the Makefile of gpc itself, it depends on more objects
than g77 does, and that's why I copy the entire gcc tree or make
symbolic link for it.

Certainly just use, and `make clean' will remove everything,
and let everything go back to the original, except the
chmod'ed files (configure, etc).
AFAIK, gpc claims itself as a frontend of gcc, and only work
on 2.7.2.1(for gpc-2.0, as 2.6.3 for gpc-1.x). but I believe that it
means the files it needs, not the compiler being used to compile it.
