Presumably that is only because it uses gcc 3.3 not gcc4, so that you can 
build without --disable-error-on-warning ?

I can do the same. My FC3 box does compile G2 - but it took a whole day to go 
from svn checkout to make dist so I don't use it as a regular test!
:-(

(Now that the .gmo files have been generated, it would be faster (~4hrs) but 
each change to a .po file means a good hour spent converting to .gmo - it is 
a severely restricted system with far too little spare RAM (laptop). I only 
installed FC3 to get around the original gcc4+g-wrap1.3/1.9 bug. If it wasn't 
for that, the box would have been still running Debian and only compiling 
smaller projects.)
