    <p>

    GCC parses your system header files and produces a modified subset which

    it uses for compiling.  This behaviour ties GCC tightly to the version

    of your operating system.  So, for example, if you were running IRIX 5.3

    when you built GCC and then upgrade to IRIX 6.2 later, you will have to

    rebuild GCC.  Similarly for Solaris 2.4, 2.5, or 2.5.1 when you upgrade

    to 2.6.  Sometimes you can type "gcc -v" and it will tell you the version

    of the operating system it was built against.

    <p>

    If you fail to do this, then it is very likely that Apache will fail

    to build.  One of the most common errors is with <code>readv</code>,

    <code>writev</code>, or <code>uio.h</code>.  This is <b>not</b> a

    bug with Apache.  You will need to re-install GCC.
