I finally managed to compile glibc-2.6.3 on PowerPC with gcc-4.0.2.
First there seemed to be a problem with the kernel-headers. Because of a small glitch in the kernel-headers FrugalBuild I was using the headers for i386.

After that it was just a matter of googling for a patch to fix each compile error I ran into. Some patches weren't easy to find, but once I noticed that a one of those errors had already been fixed in the cvs, I just got a cvs snapshot and made the final patch that way. In the end I had 4 patches for ppc and it compiles perfectly now.

And because glibc compiled with gcc 4.0.2 I was able to successfully build pacman-2.9.99.7. I also managed to compile Yaboot thanks to some CLFS patch. Next on the list is powerpc-utils.

Is it possible for you to list the bugs you ran into and how you fixed them? I am currently trying to build glibc-2.3.6 with gcc-4.0.2 for powerpc and am running into errors with sysdeps/generic/ldsodefs.h

The configure script I am using is: CC=/usr/local/crossgcc/bin/powerpc-linux-gcc AR=/usr/local/crossgcc/bin/powerpc-linux-ar RANLIB=/usr/local/crossgcc/bin/powerpc-linux-ranlib ../glibc-2.3.6/configure --host=powerpc-linux-gnu --with-headers=/usr/src/kernels/2.6.15-1.1831_FC4-smp-i686/include/ --enable-add-ons=linuxthreads --prefix=/usr/local/crossgcc --without-fp

These are all the patches that I used (including one non-ppc related patch):

glibc-2.3.6-__lround-fix.patch
glibc-__bind-fix.patch
glibc-nptl-ppc.patch
glibc-2.3.5-dlopen.diff
glibc-20051107-localedef_segfault-1.patch

It was configured with:

configure --prefix=/usr --with-tls --with-__thread \

	    --enable-add-ons=nptl --enable-kernel=2.6.6 --enable-bind-now --without-cvs

You could also check out the FrugalBuild for further information
