Oh, good thought.

Well, I did that, and went with the following configure statement:

------------------------------------------------------------------------
../gcc-4.7-4.7.2/src/configure --enable-languages=d --disable-multilib 
--disable-libgomp --disable-libmudflap --disable-libquadmath 
--disable-libquadmath-support --enable-checking=release
------------------------------------------------------------------------

... as I realized I'd left off the --enable-checking flag in previous builds.

It now falls over in a different place again with the error:

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
../../gcc-4.7-4.7.2/src/gcc/graphite.c:50:19: fatal error: ppl_c.h: No such file 
or directory
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

The following are present: gcc-multiarch.diff, gcc-multiarch-linaro.diff, 
gcc-multilib64-multiarch.diff, libjava-multiarch.diff, gcc-multiarch-doc.diff, 
gcc-multiarch-trunk.diff, gcc-multilib64-multiarch-trunk.diff

I'll give the Debian sources a go some time next week, maybe ...
