I'm currently working on a project that will compile only with this specific GCC version. I was quite happy to find the ebuild for it still in Portage, but unfortunately it won't compile with >=sys-devel/gcc-4. Google shows two relevant threads: http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-help/2008-01/msg00040.html http://www.archivum.info/gnu.gcc.help/2008-05/msg00093.html The patch from the second URL makes gcc-3.2.3 compile with itself as a compiler (I used gcc-3.2.3 binary package, then confirmed it again after having it succesfully emerged). I suppose it could be true for other gcc-3* versions as well - I can do some testing with other gcc-3 flavors, if needed. However it doesn't help with >=sys-devel/gcc-4. I think it would be useful to add this patch to Portage. Also, unless someone provides a patch for gcc-4, I think gcc-3.2.3 should depend on <sys-devel/gcc-4.
Created attachment 156239 [details, diff] Patch to let sys-devel/gcc-3.2.3-r5 compile with =sys-devel/gcc-3*
ive added the patch to cvs, cheers
