gcc 3.0 crashes during installation on IA64 Linux System !

this sounds to me like a riddle !

I cannot install gcc 3.0 because of an old as. If I install the new as (which
worked) the old gcc won't work. So how I could built both at the same time
?????? 

And I definetly will not build gcc or binutils or whatever I need also from a
CVS tree ! How is this called in english guinea pig ;) ? 

I need gcc 3.0 to compile a numerical C++ lib so I first will try the Intel
compiler instead of juggling around with gcc's ICE's. Anyhow I have gcc 3.0
on a Solaris machine (Not that it can compile much of my C++ sources :().

Cheers
