Hi, Pawel. The odd thing is, GCC is the only component that I
*haven't* upgraded. I'm using the stock GCC 4.4.7 20120313 (Red Hat
4.4.7-1) that comes with CentOS 5.10. I did however upgrade binutils
to 2.24, because glibc requires binutils at least 2.20. Should I
compile binutils with these options?

Cheers,
Shaun
