OK. I can see your problem: you have nonstandard code that gcc won't compile any more, so you want an old gcc that will compile it. But the new gcc won't compile the old gcc either. I'm guessing that the problem here is that old gcc uses what's known as an "lvalue cast", which is a language feature that has been removed from gcc. It's possible to fix the gcc source so that it doesn't use an lvalue cast, or it's possible to fix your own code so that it compiles with a modern gcc. I'd do the latter.
