+ GCC parses your system header files and produces a modified subset which
it uses for compiling. This behaviour ties GCC tightly to the version
of your operating system. So, for example, if you were running IRIX 5.3
when you built GCC and then upgrade to IRIX 6.2 later, you will have to
rebuild GCC. Similarly for Solaris 2.4, 2.5, or 2.5.1 when you upgrade
to 2.6. Sometimes you can type "gcc -v" and it will tell you the version
of the operating system it was built against.

<P>
If you fail to do this, then it is very likely that Apache will fail
to build. One of the most common errors is with <CODE>readv</CODE>,

bug with Apache. You will need to re-install GCC.
