I built X11R4 with gcc and I have had no problems with xcalc or anything else.
One thing that I did that I think will help out is made a link from the big
assembler to /usr/local/lib or whereever the gcc stuff sits.  e.g.
	ln -s /usr/lib/big/as /usr/local/lib/gcc-as
This should help out with assember overflows, etc..  Also, I built the binaries
for gcc myself.  I got the sources and applied the patches as available from
apple.com.  If you want to have a copy of my binaries to try out, just drop
me some email.  
	Also, there was talk on comp.windows.x about a bug in gcc 1.36.
It will affect you when building one of the libraries.  I think I recall
seeing some fixes for X to get around this but I dont remember fore sure.
