[Pythonmac-SIG] Any way to use gcc 3.3 with universal build (on PPC)

[Andrew Jaffe]

Hi All,

I've recently upgraded to the Universal Build, since 2.4.3 seems to be 
needed for the most recent version of numpy.

Further, the universal build is made with gcc 4.0.1, and seems to need 
that for compiling extensions.

This does present a few problems: numpy actually has a fairly obscure 
bug on OSX with gcc 4. More importantly, g77 and gcc 4.0 don't seem to 
play that well together (and neither gfortran nor g95 seem to be quite 
there yet, for various reasons).

So, is there any way to use gcc 3.3 with the universal build? It seems 
like it should be possible, since modules actually built with 3.3 under 
python2.4.1 work fine.

Yours,

Andrew
