Which GCC version would you consider the transitional version?  Ie. The

Please check out http://gcc.gnu.org/install/prerequisites.html which
says, among others:

"To make all languages in a cross-compiler or other configuration
where 3-stage bootstrap is not performed, you need to start with an
existing GCC binary (version 2.95 or later) because source code for
language frontends other than C might use GCC extensions."

So 2.95 should do, but YMMV ;)

Nope... not if you want to build later versions of glibc. Believe it or not, glibc cvs requires gcc-4.0!
