Hi Marc,
I've hit this frustrating issue in the past with RHEL4 (which
essentially is what CentOS4 cloned). There is a RPM based solution
within RHEL5 and CentOS5, but I also had upgrade constraints here.
My solution for RHEL4 was to compile the 4.4 gcc compiler from scratch
and then use it to build AMBER. I've written a howto on this and you can
find it at:
http://www.wmd-lab.org/mjw/howtos/compiling_gcc_4_4_4_under_RHEL4.txt
It works rather well for me.
