The procedure for EGLIBC is documented in detail:

http://www.eglibc.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/*checkout*/trunk/libc/EGLIBC.cross-building

(as that's written for GCC 4.1, you'll need to add --disable-decimal-float 
when building the first compiler with 4.3).  Much the same also works for 
uClibc; you install the headers and crt*.o files from uClibc between 
building the first and second compilers.

However, it may be easier to use existing scripts such as crosstool to 
automate the process, provided you use those scripts with versions of the 
tools they support.
