First of all, you writes notthing about your system (VAX or RISC ?).

On the destribution tape to X there is a configuration file to "Imake".
In this file MIT writes that if you system is VAX: Better get gcc!!

Besides this we have tryed out gcc on our RISC yesterday, and it worked
very well - It detected on rather nasty error wich was by-passed by
ULTRIX cc ?!
