I think I'd rather not go back to 5.6 simply out of the fear that it will mess 
up other parts of the system.  For example, every time we do an update, it 
will grab the latest perl unless we explicitly tell it not to.  Furthermore, 
any new systems running redhat, such as the coming athlons, are unlikely to 
have 5.6 at all.  Would it be better for you to upgrade all of the machines 
to 5.8 and fix the code to run on 5.8 instead?

/usr/alpha-unknown-linux-gnu/gcc-bin/3.2/gcc

We can add a symlink from /usr/bin/gcc, which is where it is on the other 
alphas.  Will this work?

ccc is at /usr/bin/ccc FYI.
