There is a known bug in glibc's configure script that causes this kind
of trouble. Crosstool 0.38 distributes a patch for the problem with
glibc-2.3.3 (and 2.2.5), but not for glibc-2.3.2. I expect that the
2.3.3 patch would apply to 2.3.2, so just copy 

patches/glibc-2.3.3/glibc-2.3.3-allow-gcc-4.0-configure.patch 

to 

patches/glibc-2.3.2

before using crosstool. Alternatively, if it is an option to use a more
recent glibc, you could do that.
