Use the web Luke !
The targets are all explained on the following page
http://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc-3.0.3/gcc_3.html#SEC3
(search for "Hardware Models and Configurations")

Well, your libiberty problem is a common one.
Which FAQ did you follow?
I managed to build a C, C++ compiler with Newlib (also on RH7.2) using
Bill's FAQ which can be found here:
(the libibery problem is explained there)

A small note: 3.0.4 is getting more stable, but 2.95.3 is a proven
sollution.
I like the new optimisation tricks of the 3.x series, as well as new C++
features. And I like to tinker with it from time to time.
But when I make new commercial firmware for a board, I'm still using 2.95.3
until the 3.x branch is considered stable enough.
Let us know if it worked for you.
Best regards,
Jan
