gcc 3.2

[Troy A. Griffitts]

Hey guys.  I'm new to the list and wanted to get some key insights from 
people who are 'in the know' with all the cool features that have been 
added to setup lately.

1) Is there a way to detect a gcc 3.2 system now?  And a place for binaries?

2) Do most of you guys try to compile everything statically?  We've done 
this the best we could, in the past, but it seems that kde and gnome 
apps just won't let you do it anymore.

3) Is there a 'common' build environment that works on most systems that 
I should use to build my binaries?  I'm currently running RH8 (gcc3.2 
system) and don't think it's probably a very common denominator.


Any help, common practices, or insights would be greatly appreciated!

	Thanks!
