well, I'd sure put a vote for gcc-3.2.3 instead of gcc-3.2.2...

See http://gcc.gnu.org/gcc-3.2/changes.html for a list of changes and
bugs fixed vs. 3.2.2... specifically the SPARC related ones...

And maybe, just maybe, I'd vote for a more recent binutils if
H.J. comes out with something... There's been a few things happening
just lately with binutils for SPARC, but I'd wait for a release from
H.J... The cvs sources just branched off a 2.13 branch and the
development trunk is bumped up to 2.14.90 just yesterday...

But then again, I'd strongly think twice about forking off too far
away from RHL 9 apart from the kernel... Your call spot :-)
