Subject: RedHat 8.0, gcc3.2 fails to compile. Any suggestions?

I think the problem that you're seeing has to do with the way gcc 3 display's 
version information.

In gcc 2.x gcc --version produced:
2.??

In gcc 3.2 it produces:
gcc (GCC) 3.2 20020903 (Red Hat Linux 8.0 3.2-7)

If you replace the define in your make file from:
-DGCC_VERSION=\""`gcc --version`\""

to

-DGCC_VERSION=\""`gcc --version | head -n 1 | awk '{print $3}'`\""

then it should get rid of that particular error.

If you have any object files compiled with gcc 2.x then it will probably still 
fail.
