Yep... it *should* work with 3.2, but that readme was written before 3.2
was close to release.

There's a patch available that is supposed to fix a few problems it has
with gcc 3.2, but it broke many things for me... my guess is that patch
was for something in CVS or the stable release - it didn't really say.

But, even if I did build it with 3.2, odds are it wouldn't work for my
gcc 2.95.3-compiled jabber server - due to the ABI change, binaries
created with GCC 3.2 are generally incompatable with binaries created by
2.95.

This whole thing is a little nuts... lol...  :-)
