I did all this via live cd and sources on disk and it worked, but I specifically set CCVER to gcc2 and made sure that stack 
protection was NOT turned on.

So it appears that this is not gcc3-only issue. It appears on another Opteron machine as well.

was not needed.


So it appears I need to run another script to do the steps you mentioned, but specifically with gcc2 and WITHOUT stack protection.
