Unfortunately, I know nothing about CE machine specific issues
like loader problem and have no idea for why your /etc escapes
as vapor.

gcc-3.3.x and glibc-2.3.2 would be ok for the userland programs,
though it might be not so appropriate for building kernel.
At least, -fno-zero-initialized-in-bss option is required when
compiling kernel with gcc-3.3.x.  Almost folks are using locally
patched gcc-3.2.x for the kernel work yet, I think.
If you can use RPMs, you can get (S)RPMS of such toolchain from
  http://www.sh-linux.org/rpm-index-2003/index.html
for expample.  I keep a patch for gcc-3.2.2
  http://dodo.nurs.or.jp/~kkojima/gnu-on-sh/gcc-3.2.2-tmp.diff.gz
which may be slightly imcomplete but enough for kernel.

Regards,
