It builds a patched 3.4.1 gcc for data collection.

Compiled here too, some of us are curious, thing is, it puts patched
gcc in a different spot and tells you how to refer to new compiler.

I _was_ surprised when the script started downloading compiler source...
So I left it crunching away. I read README after starting compile,
some things never change?

Got all these new binaries in /usr/local/bin, but I'd been to the
source website recently So your query pushed me a little more.
Not used it yet, but it looks like might be handy tool.

It builds modified compiler in order to do data collection during
compile, so you stuck with them patching particular gcc version to do
their magic. What compiler _you_ have to compile the patched gcc-3.4.1
should make no difference. (my gcc is 3.3.4 -- Slackware-10.1)
