It can build GCC fine, I've builded a complete GCC package (Including ada, fortran,...) lately, I just didn't run GCC testsuite completely, but compiling and installing works fine, and gcc works fine now :) I can swap psu of the thing, but that's it, I don't have replacement parts for such old PC... I mean it's socket A with SD Ram... Oh yeah, i can replace GFX card and LAN card etc, but would that matter? I don't think so... And how sure are you that it is a hardware problem, and not a software problem? Maybe a specific number of simultaneous threads?
