compile fails under gcc-3.4.1; web site is out of date

Hi,

I was trying to get gEDA running on an intel gentoo linux machine.  
gcc-3.4.1,  glibc 2.3.4.20040808, libstdc++-v3 3.3.4.  'emerge gnucap' 
fails, so I downloaded things by hand just to verify.

http://www.gnu.org/software/gnucap/ is seriously out-of-date, and it's the 
first thing
that shows up on google.  http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/gnucap/ is slightly less 
out-of-date, but still out-of-date.   Once I did find where the current 
downloads are kept, I got results identical to the emerge:

I also did a make in the other two directories just to see what would 
happen:
