I think it should be --with-libs, not --with-libc, right?

Again, --with-libs rather than --with-libc, probably.
(And does the --with-ld option really take a directory?)

First off: please don't build gcc as root :-)  It's much better
practice to use e.g. /opt/foobar as your --prefix, and chown
/opt/foobar to a regular user!   OK, safety tips aside:

I don't know what's causing your problem, but you might consider
trying the latest gcc-3.3.3 snapshot and using --with-sysroot
instead of --with-libs and --with-headers when compiling gcc.
sysroot is a much nicer way of telling gcc about the target
system's headers and libraries.  binutils doesn't take --with-sysroot,
I think, but it does take --with-lib-path, which might be handy
if you need it to search both /lib and /usr/lib.  I'm still muddy
on this myself (even though I submitted the patch that added
--with-lib-path!).
