Hmm, so we need libgcc and libgcc_eh before we can build glibc-2.3.3's libc.so, eh?
I wonder if that was the case with glibc-2.3.2.

Maybe you could add --disable-shared to the configure for glibc and
see if that gets you unstuck?  You won't get shared libraries, but
at least you might be able to test...
