Installing Packages on an Athlon 64 Linux System

On our SLES8 for amd64 installation, GCC 3.2.x (forgot what x is) is the
default, and does not support -mcpu=k8.  GCC 3.3.x is installed in
/opt/gcc33, and does support that flag.

But this is FC2, not FC3 (not released until tomorrow) and not SuSE.  gcc
3.3.3 and 64-bit builds are the default on FC2, and R build out of the 
box (unsuprising as it is one of our standard test platforms).

I have offered Martyn an RPM for FC2 on x86_64, but not had a reply.
