Hello,

Is it possible to build the DVP from GCC-3.2.2 instead of 2.95.2v2, granted I make the corresponding changes to 3.2.2 as described in http://ps2dev.org/kb.x?T=709 ?

Well, first, it's binutils you want, not gcc (since you want to produce the ee-dvp-as, not a C compiler for the DVP)

And, no, you just can't. The EE patches for binutils-2.13.2.1 does not contain any of the DVP instructions. So, for now, you have to follow the compilation of gas for the dvp using the binutils-gcc package provided. I am actually in hope to produce a patch against binutils-2.9.1 (same version as the iop-binutils) in order to build a "ee-dvp-as" out of it. That would be better than the actual state of the dvp assembler.
