libsigc++-1.0.4 and gtkmm-1.2.10 (the versions I use) compile out of the box 
with gcc-3.2 (and on another machine with gcc-2.95.3).

The only thing to make sure of is that libstdc++, libsigc++ and gtkmm are all 
compiled with the same major/minor version of gcc, because of the binary 
incompatibility between gcc-2.95, gcc-3.1 and gcc-3.2.

The original poster has got himself tied up in knots, probably from trying too 
hard.  If he sticks with the compiler which comes with his distribution for 
all his C++ libraries he should be fine.
