compiling old compilers

Hello!
I have a Fedora Core 4 box with gcc-4.0.1
installed.

I need to be able to recompile some old
specialized software which was previously
compiled using a cross-compiler on an
IRIX system, and was also semi-successfully
cross compiled on a Red Hat Linux 6 system.
(It created an exectuable, but it was not
a byte-match with the older one.)

Right now I am trying to do this on
the aforementioned Fedora Core 4 system.

For the moment, I am trying to employ
the same compiler that was used
on the RHL system (gcc-1.40).

If find that if I try to compile gcc-1.40
in a "stand alone" directory, it apparently
still tries to reach include files in /usr/include,
which are no doubt the wrong versions and cause problems,
such as:

gcc.c:1884: warning: incompatible implicit declaration of built-in 
function â
gcc.c: In function â:
gcc.c:1899: warning: incompatible implicit declaration of built-in 
function â
gcc.c: In function â:
gcc.c:1908: error: conflicting types for â
/usr/include/bits/sys_errlist.h:28: error: previous declaration of â was 
here
gcc.c: In function â:


Is there any way of compiling gcc-1.40 such that
it only references its own files, and not those
"native" to the current system?

Thanks!

Rich
