Yes, but I think we have enough examples.

Yes, I had a look, but only for 7.2 or newer.

You mean the RPMs, I presume?

Maybe we can shorten the howto a little bit, which of the following
files are needed to compile a gcc suitable for mplayer?

gcc-g++-3.0.4.tar.gz
gcc-objc-3.0.4.tar.gz
gcc-3.0.4.tar.gz
gcc-g77-3.0.4.tar.gz
gcc-testsuite-3.0.4.tar.gz
gcc-core-3.0.4.tar.gz
gcc-java-3.0.4.tar.gz

I suppose that gcc-3.0.4.tar.gz and gcc-core-3.0.4.tar.gz suffice, but
that is just a guess.  I have gcc 3.0.4 compiling to check this right
now, but it appears to take hours on my K6-2-500.  If I made a mistake
and have to recompile, it might as well take me days..
