Yes, 2.3.3 ain't good enough anymore. You can pick up 2.4.3 from tsx-11
in the pub/linux/packages/GCC/gcc-2.4.3 directory. Just gzip and untar
them in the root directory and you're set.

Compiling the 2.4.5 binaries are easy (but huge). Just run configure
and make and you got a new compiler.

I have had problems with 2.4.3 crapping out with SIGSEGVs and SIGILLs in the
middle of huge compiles (emacs, groff, gcc 2.4.5, etc). It seems to go away
when you rerun make. But still strange to begin with (that's why I am
compiling 2.4.5 :).
