Gtk--: gcc2.7.2 abandoned?

[Olof Oberg <mill pedgr571 sn umu se>]

Hi, 

I have been trying to get gtk-- to compile this weekend (I need it 
for an assignment due soon). 

I have installed gtk+ from CVS (compiled without any problems). 
Gtk-- on the other hand gives a warning

configure: warning: Test for member templates failed. This disables some 
methods that requires member template support. If your compiler should support 
member templates, see config.log to figure out why the test failed.

and then when I run make

creating src/gtk--/Makefile

I don't have the time to move to egcs or gcc2.8 at the time so 
anyone got any ideas?
