You should always try to use the latest official release. Older versions
may not have all the features GNU libc requires. The current releases of
egcs (1.0.3 and 1.1.1) should work with the GNU C library (for powerpc see
gcc (2.95 or newer) should work with the GNU C library (for powerpc see
?powerpc; for ARM see ?arm; for MIPS see ?mips).
While the GNU CC should be able to compile glibc it is nevertheless adviced
to use EGCS. Comparing the sizes of glibc on Intel compiled with a recent
EGCS and gcc 2.8.1 shows this:
text data bss dec hex filename
egcs-2.93.10 862897 15944 12824 891665 d9b11 libc.so
gcc-2.8.1 959965 16468 12152 988585 f15a9 libc.so
Make up your own decision.
GNU CC versions 2.95 and above are derived from egcs, and they may do even
better.
Please note that gcc 2.95 and 2.95.x cannot compile glibc on Alpha due to
problems in the complex float support.

{ZW} This is a problem with old versions of GCC. Initialization of large
static arrays is very slow. The compiler will eventually finish; give it
time.
The problem is fixed in egcs 1.1.

EGCS 1.1.1, 1.1 or 1.0.3, or GCC 2.8.1, 2.95 or newer
GCC 2.95 or newer
The GNU C library can only be compiled with the GNU C compiler family.
As of the 2.1 release, EGCS 1.0.3 or higher is required. GCC 2.8.1 can
also be used (but see the FAQ for reasons why you might not want to).
Earlier versions simply are too buggy. As of this writing, GCC 2.95.2
is the compiler we advise to use.
As of the 2.2 release, GCC 2.95.2 or higher is required. As of this
writing, GCC 2.95.2 is the compiler we advise to use.
You can use whatever compiler you like to compile programs that use GNU
libc, but be aware that both GCC 2.7 and 2.8 have bugs in their
floating-point support that may be triggered by the math library.
On Alpha machines you need at least EGCS 1.1.1. Earlier versions don't
work reliably.
For PPC you might need some patches even on top of the last EGCS version.
For PPC you might need some patches even on top of the last GCC version.
