The patch @uref{glibc-2.2.patch,,glibc-2.2.patch}, that is to be
applied in the GCC source tree, fixes the compatibility problems.

+Currently Glibc 2.2.3 (and older releases) and GCC 3.0 are out of sync
+since the latest exception handling changes for GCC. Compiling glibc
+with GCC 3.0 will give a binary incompatible glibc and therefore cause
+lots of problems and might make your system completly unusable. This
+will definitly need fixes in glibc but might also need fixes in GCC. We
+strongly advise to wait for glibc 2.2.4 and to read the release notes of
+glibc 2.2.4 whether patches for GCC 3.0 are needed. You can use glibc
+2.2.3 with GCC 3.0, just do not try to recompile it.
