I did proceed in two stages:
1) compile 3.01 with fixed 2.10. That is: 2.10 used gcc.o (2.7.2) via
driver but gcc (2.8.1) when gcc is called during compilation of 3.01.
2) Compile 3.01 with the 3.01 from the first stage. This one uses gcc
(2.8.1) via the driver and directly (runtime ...). When using this
compiler during make to compile the libraries it gets an error message
while compiling the first library module --- a pattern match error.

Ciao, Stefan.
