I've 'solved' this in my local GCC 4.3 builds by patching GCC with the
patch in the following bug-report:

http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=35964

After that GLIBC was building fine (for me).

The only other issues I had were in the Linux kernel (needs a small
patch to be compilable with GCC 4.3) and in opkg (which chokes on
-Wall -Werror with an array bounds check). I've patched opkg by
disabling the -Wall -Werror, because I couldn't find the problem in
the code (maybe this new GCC 4.3 warning is wrong sometimes).

One of these days I'll gather my GCC 4.3 patches and put them in
Bugzilla, but the above sums up the most important things I think.
