In the process you probably screwed up your 64-bit install, and
will no longer be able to build 64-bit packages.

If 'echo "int main() { return 0; }" | g++ -m32 -xc++ -'
doesn't work "out of the box", SuSE really screwed up with their
gcc/g++ package.

You may work around this by building your own (gcc 4.0.x builds
correctly on all Linux distributions I've tried it on).

You'll probably have to undo the damage you already did by copying
crt?.o files.

I had absolutely no problems on any of RHEL-3, FC5, FC6 machines. All
build 32 and 64 bit executables just fine.
