The versions of gcc listed in the release notes are the versions of gcc for
which Mercury *really* does not work - so much so that it's not even worth
bothering with that version of gcc.  gcc 3.2 does not fall into this category.

We have had problems similar to the above with gcc 3.2 in the past - in most
cases the workarounds are pretty straightforward.  I'll install gcc 3.2.3
on one of our machines and take a look at it.

Cheers,
Julien.
