[gentoo-user] OT - Is there a gcc-4.1.1 alternative?

[Michael Sullivan]

I'm fed up with this.  I've restarted the emerge of gcc-4.1.1-r3 on my
server box four times now.  It always gets to compiling insn-attrtab.o
and then it never stops.  I even went into the Makefile to find the
exact command used to compile this particular object file and ran the
command manually.  It only took half an hour, but when I told it to
emerge sys-devel/gcc, I guess it didn't like my manually built file, so
it's doing it over again.  This time it's been trying to build this file
for over eight hours.

This strace doesn't help me much.  What does "attached" mean, anyway?
Is there some other way for me to get gcc-4 on my server box?  Some
binary package for an i586 maybe?
