I'm use FC4 for all my personal systems.  FC4 comes with "gcc32", which
isn't a comment on the width of its ints, but rather:  it's gcc 3.2.3.

$ cat /etc/fedora-release 
Fedora Core release 4 (Stentz)
_[/home/scott]_(scott at tsk)_
$ gcc32 -v

Configured with: ../configure --prefix=/usr --mandir=/usr/share/man

--disable-checking --with-system-zlib --enable-__cxa_atexit

Thread model: posix
gcc version 3.2.3 20030502 (Red Hat Linux 3.2.3-47.fc4)

So you should be able to type "export CC=gcc32" (in bash), then run
./configure ...

Ah heck -- just tried it, it worked. :)

Take care,
