    This has been working very well for me. However, it took me a while
    to figure out that I needed

    yum install compat-gcc-32
    ./configure --cc=gcc32

    It would have been nice to have this info in the FC4 release notes
    near then end of the section "6.3.1. GCC Compiler Collection", or
    perhaps in the "Caveats" subsection.
