excellent news..

yes all the library defs, mods and objects should be in this directory
Here is the contents of

   /usr/local/lib/gcc-lib/i686-pc-linux-gnu/3.0.4/gm2/

the rule for copying the library files into this position is in
gm2/Make-lang.in, which I guess is going wrong somewhere?  Ahh I
wonder whether $$i should really be $(i) to ensure portability?

You might want to substitute all $$variablenames in gm2/Makefile.in
and gm2/Make-file.in to $(variablenames)

Thanks for the report
