Dear Jon,

Please see http://www.ripe.net/db/irrtoolset for all the information.

As far as I can remember, the README supplied together with IRRToolSet mentions that
IRRToolSet is unfortunately not yet gcc-3 compliant and therefore you cannot 
use this compiler :-( We will update the code to be gcc-3 compliant at some point.
But for now, please use gcc-2.95-*.

I can send you the binaries for platforms where it was compiled, but probably
ftp is more convenient source.
