Strange... I'm running a gentoo system using gcc 3.2.2, which compiled
me a very stable KDE 3.1, and all this on an AthlonXP.
"--march=athlon-xp" was set as target architecture. And also a
home-grown blender build runs fine here (however, it was built without
the --march flag). So if there is a bug in gcc 3.2.2 I haven't hit it yet.
GCC has had a lot of STL changes since 2.95.3. Now it is much more
standard compliant than before. This is probably why the old gcc might
not be able to build KDE 3.1. I never tried myself, though. However,
I've had to watch gcc 3.x choke on a lot of code that compiled fine with
gcc 2.95.x. As far as I can tell almost every C++ project I know of had
to migrate code over to gcc 3.x.
