State-Changed-Why:
    Maybe your problems arise from a faulty configuration.
    http://gcc.gnu.org/install/configure.html says:
    
    First, we highly recommend that GCC be built into a separate directory than the sources which
    does not reside within the source tree. This is how we generally build GCC; building where
    srcdir == objdir should still work, but doesn't get extensive testing; building where objdir is a
    subdirectory of srcdir is unsupported. 
    
    You are trying to build in "obj" which you created as
    a subdirectory of the srcdir gcc-3.2.
    
    You should try to configure the compiler as follows:
    tar zxf gcc-3.2.tar.gz
    mkdir obj
    cd obj
    ../gcc-3.2/configure --program-suffix=-3.2 --enable-shared --with-gnu-as --with-gnu-ld --enable-threads=posix --enable-version-specific-runtime-libs
    make bootstrap
    
    Please tell us, whether this solves your build problems
    or not.
