downgrade gcc 4.X to 3.x ?

[LarryT]

Hi all,
I would like to know if there is a way to downgrade a package : i wanna 
compil QEMU on fc5 and qemu is known to crash when compiling with gcc 
4.x ; so i need to install the gcc 3.x compilator.
Is there any workaround please ?
Does this could do the trick  :
rpm -Uhv --force gcc 3.x ?
But i cant find gcc 3.x for fc5 :(
any idea please ?
thx

You may want to install the compat-gcc-32 package. That way, you can
have both versions of gcc installed.

yum install compat-gcc-32

Install the compat-gcc-32 RPM from core.  There's a c++ and g77 one also.

qemu is included in fedora extras:

# yum install qemu

I beleive the qemu faq page states they do not support GCC 4.x. If you
use the qemu.src.rpm package to rebuild, it will require
'compat-gcc-32' (as others have noted).

The kernel accelerator helps significantly:
