For Fedora Core 5, I've found it easiest to bootstrap the entire
GCC with a supported version such as 4.0.3. I even had to use
the "compat32" compiler to do so, since system compiler is 4.1
(the RPM spec file is at http://www.algonet.se/~afb/d/gdc.spec)

As a bonus you also get a vanilla C and C++ compiler, should you
ever need one not patched silly by your distribution of choice :-)
