You write:
"... gcc-3.0 compiler. That compiler contains a bug ..."
This is not correct. The Squeak configure script is buggy, not gcc, and
a fix is available for a long time.

Well, I'd rather see the "configure;make;make install" mantra working
well. The chance of getting yet another script into the official
distribution are rather low. Everything it does can be done equally
well (if not better) in the configure or make step. It's just a matter
of providing the right tarballs that contain everything you need, along
with pre-compiled binaries for major distros. I intend to tackle this
myself, eventually, just not in the next two months. So everything you
can do now in this direction is very welcome :-)
