Ahh..., I think I figured it out:

(My local machine, where I build the runtime for use with the "current"
compiler)
[fluet@lennon src]$ gcc -v
Reading specs from /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i586-mandrake-linux/2.95.3/specs
gcc version 2.95.3 19991030 (prerelease)

(The Linux cluster machines, where I build the runtime for use with the
"stable" compiler)
sh-2.04$ gcc -v
Reading specs from /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i386-redhat-linux/2.96/specs
gcc version 2.96 20000731 (Red Hat Linux 7.1 2.96-85)
