A lot of stuff is *not* straight forward to cross compile. Coreutils ,for instance, can be a pain.

Whats the confusion? The final-gcc is pretty straight forward :-)

I would use something like this:
  export PATH=/bootstrap/bin:$PATH
    ./configure --target=i686-pc-linux-gnu --prefix=/bootstrap
                --with-gmp=/bootstrap --with-mpfr=... --with-mpc=...
                --with-sysroot=/sysroot
                --enable-__cxa_atexit
                --enable-languages=c,c++

I may be explaining things improperly. The above would give me a gcc
that cross compiles from the host system to i686-pc-linux-gnu, right?
Otherwise specifying --with-gmp=/bootstrap seems wrong as that
directory most likely contains x86_64 binaries.


Correct.

You must seperatly install gmp,mpfr and mpc into /sysroot before you try to compile gcc using the cross compiler in /bootstrap.
Also, you only need to compile glibc one time.

What you can do is to use the --with-build-sysroot.

Is the whole consept that you are going to copy /sysroot to another machine? Is the crossed compiler (the one that was compiled using the cross compiler) supposed to use /sysroot on the target machine as sysroot? (Because that is a bit of a hack!)

If not you can do something like this: --with-gmp=/sysroot (you don't need to add --with-mpfr and --with-mpc as long as you used --with-gmp) --host=i686-pc-linux-gnu --with-build-sysroot=/sysroot --with-sysroot=/
