*laugh* RedHat strikes again.  I'm half-tempted to tar up one of my sparc
filesystems and make it available via FTP.

Yes, it's going to be gcc-2.7.  4.1 was pretty crufty, was prone to
slowdowns on certain sun4c boxen.  Might be better to just replace the
kernel on the 5.1 box (and fix the route configs, and fix procps ...).

bash$ gcc --verbose
Reading specs from /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i686-pc-linux-gnu/egcs-2.91.60/specs
gcc version egcs-2.91.60 19981201 (egcs-1.1.1 release)
