Patches here do not hurt.  I would say grab the ones from the GCC package
at
	ftp://ftp.netwinder.org/devteam/stewart/
		dm-3.1-15-new-tools/SRPMS/gcc-2.95.2-1nw6.src.rpm
This is pretty much the same version we are using at Rebel for our ARM
builds.

Use binutils 2.10.1, and you should be fine.

glibc no, not certain about newlib

See http://www.arm.linux.org.uk ( ftp://ftp.arm.linux.org.uk/pub/armlinux ),
you will need some patches from there.

Good luck,
