As building a proper cross compiler is not trivial (as you are
experiencing), may I ask why you need to build one?  There may very well
be a more easy way to achieve what you want to do.

I would suggest to use the same sources that Debian unstable is using and
also apply the patches from the Debian source packages, at least those
patches that are relevant for Hurd systems.  This is especially needed
for glibc, Hurd and GCC sources, as there are a bunch of outstanding
patches that are needed for getting a functional build.

GCC 2.95?

That's only a warning.  As for the error message, Samuel already answered
to this question.
