upgrading gcc and glibc

[Net Llama!]

Greetings,
I've got a box that currently has gcc-2.95.3 and glibc-2.2.5 on it.  I'd 
really like to upgrade both to the latest stable versions, which i fear is 
a non-trivial exercise.

I've manually upgraded glibc in the past, but that was going from 2.1.x to 
2.2.x.  From what i'm reading, that is cake compared to going to glibc-3.x. 
  I've also upgraded gcc in the past, but that too was a minor version 
upgrade, and not 2.x to 3.x.

Anyone have any SxS type material for doing this stuff?  I'd really rather 
not wreck this box flying blind.

thanks.
