Ouch. It's about as old as one could have feared.

There's no reason to spend a minute with this old compiler except for
building a new one. Gmp is not among the "safe" pieces of code that
old and buggy compilers can handle (much the contrary, in fact).

Please follow the procedure suggested by Marc.

If things get awry in that gcc 3.2.x proves unable to properly compile
gcc 4.8.x, which could well happen, then you might even have to
consider doing intermediary steps.

Down the road, expect another set of difficulties. Your libc is also
inevitably 10-years old as well. This might yield nasty issues, for
example with respect to the threading model. This all depends on how
much the code you're willing to compile eventually asks from the
glibc.

Divinatory skills are rare. The complete configuration and compilation
transcript would be more usable. But again, please try the script
pointed to by marc, first.

Good luck ! (on such an old system, I think most people would give up
pretty quick).
