Basically that's a problem with a cyclic dependency - gcc 3.3 requires glibc 
2.3.2, and vice versa. I'm currently building gcc3 (having taken the 
dependencies out, along with the ada compiler), and can put it up for ftp if 
anyone's interested (once I've got glibc installed I'll rebuild it so it's 
pristine).
 I've also recently built and rpm'd Mozilla Firebird 0.7.1 for the alpha - if 
anyone wants a copy please let me know.
