Well see the thing is I did in fact try that a couple weeks ago, and it
just plain wouldn't take it. I will probably give it a try again here
soon, but know it is just a matter of waiting for the flex people to work
it out. I just thought someone here might know more about where they are.

Let me ask you this, when you compiled flex and lilypond, did you use all
the flags like this:

CC=/usr/local/gcc-3.2.2/bin/gcc CFLAGS=-I/usr/local/gcc-3.2.2/include
LDFLAGS=-L/usr/local/gcc-3.2.2/lib CPPFLAGS=-I/usr/local/gcc-3.2.2/include
CPP=/usr/local/gcc-3.2.2/bin/cpp CXX=/usr/local/gcc-3.2.2/bin/g++
CXXFLAGS=-I/usr/local/gcc-3.2.2/include

That is what I was using on my current machine to compile ardour, I'm
guessing it would be the same except telling it where to find gcc 2.95

Thanks for the info, I will work on it more after I get this other machine
going.
