No. I used GCC 3.1 from Simtel on XP to re-build it'self with the
latest CVS LIBC and then re-build itself once some patches were
applied to the lIBC source.

The GCC 3.1 at Simtel has been built with the 2.03 refresh so it will
work under 2K and XP.

>Does somebody knows about this problem?
No. I have GCC 3.1 working on XP at the moment. Could you post a small
< 30 line program and the commands you use to make the program so that
I can try to reproduce it. If you cannot post a small program then
send it via private email to me in a zip file (remove the .oz in the
return address).

Can you build a C hello world program? How about a C++ cout hello
world?
Are you using cmd.exe or command.exe as the dos command shell? I have
found that command.com is more compatible with DOS than cmd.exe.
