problem compiling gcc

hi

i have ran into several problems compiling a non 3.1 version of gcc on MacOS
X.  3.1 does not compile one of our programs that uses c++ templates
aggresively, so i am trying some other versions of gcc.

with gcc 3.0.4: it says

cc -traditional-cpp -c  -DIN_GCC    -g -W -Wall -Wwrite-strings -Wstrict-prototypes -Wmissing-prototypes -Wtraditional -pedantic -Wno-long-long  -DHAVE_CONFIG_H    -I. -I. -I. -I./. -I./config -I./../include function.c -o function.o
function.c: In function `assign_stack_local_1':
function.c:598: `DEFAULT_ABI' undeclared (first use in this function)
function.c:598: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once
function.c:598: for each function it appears in.)
function.c: In function `instantiate_virtual_regs':
function.c:3514: `DEFAULT_ABI' undeclared (first use in this function)
function.c: In function `instantiate_decls':
function.c:3581: warning: comparison between signed and unsigned
function.c:3581: warning: signed and unsigned type in conditional expression
function.c: In function `aggregate_value_p':
function.c:4201: `DEFAULT_ABI' undeclared (first use in this function)
function.c: In function `assign_parms':
function.c:4554: `DEFAULT_ABI' undeclared (first use in this function)
function.c: In function `locate_and_pad_parm':
function.c:5192: `DEFAULT_ABI' undeclared (first use in this function)
make: *** [function.o] Error 1


with gcc 3.2, the latest snapshot, it fails at c-common.o

builtin-attrs.def:118: missing right curly brace, found `_0'
builtin-attrs.def:118: illegal external declaration, missing `;' after `ATTR_FORMAT_PRINTF_1'

...


i am compiling them with gcc 3.1.

thanks,
