Good to hear. There have been instances where to get a later version of gcc on Solaris, where to go from version X to Z, you needed to first build Y then Z (where X < Y < Z). But they are thankfully rare, and normally gcc will compile with an older gcc or the Sun compiler on Solaris. > Of course, this really means that gcc-3.4.3 and Sun CC managed to build > the GCC spkg and its dependencies. I have here an IBX x3650, which has two quad-core 3.16 GHz Xeon processors, and 48 GB RAM. It does however run CentOS (Redhat clone) version 4.6, which is quite old. I've tried to build Sage on that, but it fails very early on, as the version of GNU tar on there is unable to extract the tar files produced by the Sage community. If I built a later version of tar, or Sage produced tar files which were more backwards compatible, it would be worth trying Sage on that. In terms of processing power, it has more than "hawk", although the Xeons in "hawk" run a little faster and are a bit more modern. I don't know what version of gcc is on the linux box, but it is around the 3.4.x series.
