Hi Ian,
This is the error I get when I try to build the binary on the
new CentOS host using gcc 3.3.1. The same setting works perfectly fine
on our old Linux 2.1 box(gcc 2.96)
Error

cc1: error: unrecognized option `-WO0'
cc1: error: unrecognized option `-lang-c'
gmake: *** [bsapi_acct_status.o] Error 1

gcc 2.96 is ancient and even gcc 3.3.1 is very old. The current version
of gcc is 4.4.0.
Normally you should not need to pass -lang-c or -x c to the
preprocessor. I think gcc 3.3.1 included the integrated preprocessor in
any case. I think you need to tell us what you are doing and what is
going wrong.
