Trying that. I downloaded GCC-3.3.2 and untarred gcc-core and gcc-objc. 
Then I did a configure on them:

Uli-Kusterers-Computer:~/GNUstep DLs/gcc332 ulikusterer$ 
../gcc-3.3.2/configure

where ~/GNUstep DLs/gcc-3.3.2 is the unpacked stuff, and gcc332 is my 
destination directory. That seemed to work fine.

Then I tried to make it:

Uli-Kusterers-Computer:~/GNUstep DLs/gcc332 ulikusterer$ make 
bootstrap-lean

Stop.

make: *** [bootstrap-lean] Error 2

Any idea what's the problem here?

 On a hunch, I tried unpacking gcc-3.3.2 and compiling that, instead of 
core and objc. Here's what I did, with the errors I got between << and 
>>:

1) Download gcc-3.3.2.tar.gz from gcc.gnu.org and untar it using tar 
xfvz gcc-3.3.2.tar.gz
2) Create a folder "gcc332" into which we will build
3) cd into gcc332, then run ../gcc-3.3.2/configure
<< ../gcc-3.3.2/configure: line 600: [: /Users/ulikusterer/GNUstep:

I got lots more errors like that last one, then I got some compiler 
output (mostly warnings that could be unimportant) but then it fails at:

<<make[2]: Nothing to be done for `all'.

/bin/sh: line 1: cd: gcc: No such file or directory

Here they are. I've looked through the docs on configuring and building 
GCC on their web site, but they assume you already know which parts of 
GCC are what and which you need and which you don't... Sadly, I don't 
know that. What *do* I want, besides an ObjC compiler that compiles 
GNUstep on Darwin, I mean.

I'm feeling really stupid here,
