Assuming you are using debian (testing), you can do an apt-get install
gcc-3.3 (or is it gcc-3.3-base? )

If you are using debian stable on your desktop...it's been widely
recommended that you upgrade to testing. With Debian, this is pretty
easy. Just update your /etc/apt/sources.list to point to testing
instead of stable, and do apt-get update apt-get dist-upgrade.

the same problem using Debian (glibc_2.3 not found) with the
precompiled crosstools from the Technologics website, and when I asked
them what distro to use, they said that if the precompiled version
didn't work, to rebuild the crosstools on whatever flavor of Linux I
was using, so I tried, but after a long build process for
gcc-3.3.2-glibc-2.3.2, it complained that my gcc version 2.95 was bad
for the build.

to build the crosstools.  Does this sound right?  I noticed the build
result matrix on the Kegel site doesn't show a valid build with kernel
2.4.26.  Should I drop back to an earlier gcc/glibc combination or
maybe change to a later version of the kernel?

install gcc, after an apt-get update, but it says my gcc is up to
date, and a dpkg -l shows gcc 2.95.  I know this isn't a Debian
newsgroup, just wondering what simple path I could take to get the
crosstool compiler to work on some kind of Linux.  I've downloaded
FC3, but read some not so nice things about it's ease of use so I'm a
little hesitant to change to Fedora just yet.
