Installing gcc3 on my RH system was fairly simple.  I downloaded the
RH7.2-updates gcc3 RPMS, installed them, and then moved two broken
libtool archives out of the way.  It just worked at that point.  So
yes, there is a little bit of documentation, but it isn't that hard
IMHO.

Recently I had to install autoconf253 and automake15 as well, and
those worked (although I had to hand-tweak).  However, anyone running
a real distribution tarball wont care about autoconf -- they will
already have all that stuff done.
