I recently got glibc-2.1.3 building with gcc-3.3.3; the process
is usually to do a google search for each of the compilation
errors until you find the patch that fixes it.  Often you can
just pull the patch from glibc cvs once you know what it is.
In the case of glibc-2.1.3, I had to find about eight patches,
and it took two days.  glibc-2.2.3 ought to be easier --
and you may be able to find many of the fixes right in
my patches/glibc-2.2.5 directory.

If you have trouble, go ahead and post the interesting bits
of the compile logs to crossgcc...
