I had a go at compiling gcc-2.4.3 on my MultiMax - and I had problems too. I
can't off the top of my head remember what they were, but I seem to remember
that I didn't even manage to finish the stage1 compile. I wasn't trying too
hard at the time, though.

What I can tell you is that gcc-2.3.3 compiles and works fine (I can supply
you with a tar/dump of it if you like) on my 310 with no hacking required.

Hope this is of some use to you,
