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.

{AJ} There's only correct support for glibc 2.0.x in gcc 2.7.2.3 or later.
