[gentoo-alpha] difficulties with glibc and GCC

I'm currently using:

glibc-2.3.2-r1
gcc-3.2.3-r2
linux 2.4

I'm not able to compile a newer glibc with this setup, but newer versions of
gcc require it. I would prefer not to take this server down for several days
to reinstall. First I attempted to prepare a new chroot-ed enviroment so I
could just cut over once it was ready, but 2.4/2.6 incompatabilities prevent
me from doing that effectively. Secondly, I thought of getting a newer glibc
out of GRP to bootstrap into a new enviroment rather than building it
myself. There does not appear to be a GRP for Alpha. It seems I am stuck.

Can anyone suggest an alternative to re-installation?

Which error do you have? I've recently emerge/update system to
default-linux/alpha/no-nptl/2.4, gcc-3.4.6, glibc-2.3.5-r3, 2.4.30 alpha
and, as far as I remember, it was painless...
