More precisely, what does "gcc -version" give you as output?
The important part might be the "build number" as e.g. in:
... 4.0.1 (Apple Computer, Inc. build 5370) ...
which is from the output of the Xcode 2.5 gcc. The Xcode 2.4.1 gcc
should still be fine, but earlier versions have reportedly problems.
Especially the gcc 4.0.0 versions are known to "buggy as a swamp in
florida" :-)
You can get Xcode 2.5 via the Apple Developer Connection, BTW.
One last sentence: On my G4 550Mhz PowerBook Sage-4.1 did compile fine
(using Xcode 2.5, gcc 4.0.1 build 5370 as above).
Cheers,
Georg
