Are you using gcc-3.2.3 for compiling or is gcc-2.95.x the default gcc 
that is beeing utilized. gcc-3.2.3 should work fine. If not file a bug 
report and normally it will get fixed if it's not too weird an error. Or 
compile gcc-3.3.4 which I used before upgrading to gcc-3.4.0 and that 
worked fine too. Compiling gcc is not a very scary task. Upgrading glibc 
sounds more scary to me but fortunatly for me slackware has pkgtool for 
this.

btw I'm running slackware 8.0 for 3 years now and have upgraded half the 
install already without any major issue
