I managed to get it to compile on FC4, but I took a slightly different 
approach.  I renamed gcc to gcc4 and I renamed gcc32 to gcc.  So when 
configure automatically finds gcc, it has the correct one without any 
particular options.  I don't see how this could be any different than using 
- --cc=gcc32 --host-cc=gcc32 but I do know that it did compile on my machine.
