Why don't you just use existing, working tools? Our Embedded Linux
Development Kit is free for download, just us it. It also includes
instructions how to rebuild from prstine source files if you're
really in the mood to do so. See http://www.denx.de/ELDK/

You're heading for trouble anyway. GCC 2.96 was never officially
released. It is a known fact that it cannot be used for instance to
compile a Linux kernel. Even if you manage to build it, you will not
have much fun using it.

Real programmers don't comment their code. It was hard to write, it
should be hard to understand.
