You need:

gcc-core-3.2.2.tar.bz2 (core and c front-end)
gcc-g++-3.2.2.tar.bz2 (c++ front-end and c++ libs)

(both from ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/gcc/gcc-3.2.2 , or your closest
mirror.)

The .bz2 files and the .gz files have the same content, but .bz2 is
    better compressed, which is probably prefferred if you have a
    modem, even though it takes a lot longer to decompress.

I think so. I've built 3.2 with 2.95.3, and I built 3.1 from 2.96, and
    then 3.2.2 from 3.1
