The ACE people recommend egcs. Taken directly from ~ace/ACE-INSTALL.html: "ACE/TAO don't seem to build well with g++ 2.8.1. We routinely use g++ 2.7.2.3, egcs 1.0.2, and egcs 1.0.3, and recommend those versions. egcs 1.1.1 is reported to be OK, as well." TAO is quite an exercise for a C++ compiler, and I build it just fine on -current with the egcs in ports.
