recommended build system

[Simon Marlow]

The nightly binary snapshots for x86/Linux are currently hard-wired to
use gcc-3.4.3, because I occasionally change gcc versions to make sure
things are still working.  I'll change it back to gcc.  To workaround it
you can add '-pgmc gcc' to the command line.

Cheers,
	Simon
