For building glibc 2.3.x you need recent GCC.  For building programs against
glibc 2.3.x you can use older GCC versions as well.

2.2.x can be built with GCC 2.95.x.

INSTALL file contains (since ~ September 2002, which is before 2.3.1 was
released):

   * GCC 3.2 or newer

     The GNU C library can only be compiled with the GNU C compiler
     family.  As of the 2.3 release, GCC 3.2 or higher is required.  As
     of this writing, GCC 3.2 is the compiler we advise to use.
