Hehe, I called it, didn't I?  :)

How about a static version and a dynamic version?  That way we can choose 
which one we want to run.  The solution should NOT be maintaining both a 
gcc2 and gcc3 build, though.

In other news...
Is it possible to make the server NOT obliterate the CPU on 
mapchange/daemon restart?  This applied in win32 as well.  On restart, it 
pretty much sucks up all available CPU time, meaning that you can only run 
1 BF server on a single CPU system.
