Any gcc (2.95, 3.0, 3.1, 3.2, 3.3, 3.4) can compile CLISP, that's how I
build packages, that's how it is supposed to work.
Building with g++ is a way to detect internal CLISP errors, not build
production executables.

g++ 3.3 cannot build CLISP due to a bug in g++.
this bug is allegedly fixed in 3.4.
