I was worried something like this might happen. We can do an explicit 
check for _GNUC_PATCHLEVEL_ but it would be nice to know if this is maybe 
something specific with the RH9 3.2.2 or not. Or 3.2.3 or GCC CVS for that 
matter. Anyone got those native tools and willing to try it quickly?

I'm not running RH9 myself I'm afraid.
