You can't recompile them?

I have to convince my fellow developers here that it is necessary to do so, and I don't see that happening.

I got gcc 4.4.0 working, and it solved the problem. I was able to recompile necessary libraries and eliminate unnecessary ones, and it works much better. thanks for the gcc 4.4.0 suggestion.
