[tlug] Cannot compile gcc 4.3.1 using CentOS gcc 4.1.2

["Nguyen Vu Hung" <vuhung16plus@example.com>]

Hi all,

I've tried to compilie gcc 4.3.1 from source code using ( default) CentOS 5.2 gcc 4.1.2.
It seems that the error I got is due to the default glibc headers in CentOS 5.2 is old[1]
I am not so sure but it is reported to gentoo[1]
