I didn't use Bill's script but the two pass build procedure worked for 
my target m68k-elf on gcc 3.2.
If you don't need newlibs libgloss you can just move the newlib sources 
from newlib-1.10.0/newlib to gcc-3.2/newlib and configure and build it 
with gcc's build. It will compile gcc and newlib in one pass.
gcc 3.2 produces an executable that will run on my target but my 
debugger chokes on the new symbol information. If you use anything else 
than gdb for debugging and run into these problems you should consider 
gcc 2.95.3 instead.
