Well, I was able to build it on -CURRENT, along with binutils and other fine software from -STABLE tree. The reason was that in several cases GCC 3.2.1 proved to be significantly slower than 2.95.4 (I mean regular integer\floating-point operations, MMX\SSE\3DNow! is a whole different story). I replaced 3.2.1 with 2.95.4, and since I did so in very brute way, latter had no clue where system includes are, and ld had amnesia too (there was some mix with obj/4.7-STABLE/... path to includes and libraries). As a result, I had to build programs in two passes: to generate objects with -c -I/usr/include first, and then to link them with appropriate crt* and shared libraries. Though passing -I/usr/include -L/usr/lib to compiler & linker succeeded too. It worked, but annoyed. I recompiled binutils from GNU tarball to eliminate problems with ld, and now I'm going to make order in GCC. But, again, it works much better for me than 3.2.1 (figures are available upon request).
