I tried mightily off and on for about 2 weeks to do about the same
thing. I have successfully installed all the other GNU pieces that I
need, but glibc seems to be a real can of worms. I noticed 3 or 4 other
people posting with the same kinds of problems. 

My environment is about the same as yours, except we are using 4.1.1,
and I have to use the --prefix so that stuff gets installed somewhere
besides /usr/local.

I was able to get a plain "make" to complete. I haven't been able to get
a "make install" to work. 

Here's what I did:

	get glibc (to /utilities/gnu)
	uncompress it
	tar xvf glibc-1.04.tar
	cd glibc-1.04
	mkdir src
	mv * src
	mkdir sun4
	cd sun4
	mkdir sys
	create configparms:
-----------------------------
prefix = /utilities/gnu/2.3.3
override stddef.h =
override stdarg.h =
-----------------------------
	../src/configure sparc-sun-sunos4.1.1 --with-gnu-ld
	#make sure that the native as, ar, and ranlib are in the search
	#path, not GNU's
	make

This will run to completion. However, when I "make install" the problems
start all over. Among the things that happen are:

	link errors in mk-stdiolim
	zic core dumps
	can't find include files

I have asked for help in several places, and haven't heard of anyone
who has got it working. I am giving up and paying $4500 to Cygnus
Support to get it working for me.

(In case our headers aren't fixed yet, note that my return address is engdahl@aa.ab.com).
