If you do, you are likely to end up with a gcc which works for trivial cases, but has hard to understand misbehavior in complex cases. You do not want to go there. Instead, try some configure options which may eliminate problem parts of GCC, like --enable-languages=c,c++ , which tells configure that only C and C++ should be built, leaving out java and fortran, which do not build on some systems. > I am planning to compile opensaml libs which are in C++.

I reccomend gcc 3.3.3 .
