Thanks for all the info!  Well, I tried building gcc-3.3.2 with your options 
and that worked (hooray!) but I couldn't find binutils-2.14.90.0.7, the 
closest I could see was 2.14 so I used that.  It all compiled ok, but now 
when I go to compile the kernel I get this error:

cc1: error: invalid option `cpu=r3000'

If I copy the command line and change -mcpu to -march then it works fine, but 
this isn't happening automatically for some reason.  Any ideas?  (I tried 
downgrading to binutils-2.13.xxx but it still gave the error, so I'm guessing 
it's a gcc problem - oh how much easier life would be if they didn't remove 
the -mcpu option somewhere along the way ;-))

Cheers,
Adam.
