Works for me. You have to build with the right options. My setup is
 $ /home/aph/gcc/gcc-4_5-branch/configure --prefix=/home/aph/x-arm/install --target=arm-linux-gnueabi --with-sysroot=/home/aph/x-arm/rootfs-f12/ --with-headers=/home/aph/x-arm/chroot-arm/usr/include/ -disable-libssp --disable-libgomp --disable-libmudflap --disable-multilib --disable-static --disable-sjlj-exceptions --enable-languages=java

glibc.
