gcc 3.0.4 under RH 7.1

[Chris Meyer]

I'm using an out-of-the-box install of RH 7.1.

I'm trying to build GNUstep but it keeps failing during 'base' 
configuration saying that my gcc can't produce working objc binaries...

So... can someone out there who has this configuration working please 
give me the config.status from their gcc build? What about other 
oddities like modifying /etc/ld.so.conf? What's the proper thing to do?

My build with --enable-languages=objc --enable-shared --enable-threads 
compiles simple test programs with commands like

gcc -lobjc test.m

but when I try to run the resulting a.out file it tells me that it can't 
load libgcc_s.so.1...

Anyone else have any ideas? Is there another version of gcc to use?

One more question: Do I still need to install the gnustep-objc-1.2.0 
with gcc 3.0.4?

Thanks, Chris
