I have just checked the latter issue (with root_v3.10.02): it's due 
streamoff being now
a 64 bit type (~long long), instead of a long. There isn't much we can 
do for this, if we
don't want to renounce to LFS support.

Changing gcc3strm.cxx to use streamoff (not an 'hardwired' long) and 
adding to
cint/lib/gcc3strm/iostrm.h something like:

    inline ostream& operator<< (ostream& ost, long long c)
      {return(ost.operator<<(c));}

and so on, should suffice to update the application for 3.4.

Paolo.
