I have source for gpc 2.0, and have been trying (without success) to
compile it on our SPARC. We have gcc 2.8.1 installed on the machine,
and I think this is the problem, since when I run ./configure, I get a
message to the effect that the configure script wants gcc 2.7.1, NOT
2.8.1.

Is there anyway to override this? Why shouldn't the "newer" compiler
be OK to use. Heck, I even tried a global replace of 2.7.1 to 2.8.1 in
ALL the gpc files, and the thing still won't compile.

Any suggestions/pointers to the obvious welcome.

Since parts of the GPC code are based on and/or directly tied to GCC
code, changes in GCC that happened between 2.7.x and 2.8.x are relevant
to GPC. The latest GPC versions (alpha and beta, but probably already
more stable than 2.0 :-) work with GCC 2.8.x (and no more with 2.7.x).
