Hello Steve, I'm currently using Qpid 0.18 on Red Hat 6.3 with gcc 4.4.6. I'm using the old bootstrap and configure method. Nothing special when running configure (just setting m32 to the CFLAGS, CXXFLAGS, and LDFLAGS to specify 32-bits build as well setting the prefix for the make install). You probably will need some more information so please let me know what you need. Hopefully, this will help. Thanks.
Regards, Jeremy
