I don't know what version of the compiler you were looking at, but this is
certainly not true. You should lay your hands on 1.36.1 and then just run
config.g++ i386v. Oh, and get 1.36 of gcc and make that first. It builds
and works without any significant problems. Great improvement over the
hassle getting 1.35 to work, it also is much faster, built libg++ in a
matter of minutes!!

Good luck.
