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.
