gcc3.1's had no effect for me on the glitchy box.

Yup, and none of them seem to make any difference either. :(

Very Strange Things are Going On. I bet It is the Law of Conservation
of Glitchy Universal Secret Revelation. Only one person in the world
is allowed to view This Mysterious and Enlightening Phenomenon at a
time. Either you were powerful enough to decipher Its Meanings and
aren't telling us (I know we must discover Them on our own), or you
too failed to grasp Its Universal Message. Either way, It's moved on
to attempt another Conversion. I admit intellectual defeat now, so
can The Glitch please go Visit someone else for a while?
