The problems occur mainly in the motif-source which looks to be quite
old-fashined C. I need to build this because I would like to fix a bug
in the mozilla-plugin. All parts which build before Motif (hotspot)
seem to work well with gcc-4.1.

I can try to translate:

However I don't think compiling gcc-3.3.6 with gcc-4.1 has a high
success rate. Are there pre-compiled binaries available too, which can
be installed side-by-side with the already existing build setup?

Thank you in advance, lg Clemens
