3.4 used to be OK. The new ratpoints packages that Robert Miller introduced in Sage-4.x does not build with gcc-3.x, so as of right now, GCC >= 4.x is a requirement. The right fix is to either change our prereq script, or fix ratpoints so that it builds with gcc-3.x again. If possible, the second option would be much better. > Somebody tried yesterday to build on OpenSolaris with gcc 3.4.3 > (compiler in /usr/sfw/bin) and it failed due to what I believe is an > MPIR failure to detect the Sun linker.
