Does anyone happen to know the oldest version of GCC that'll still build
povray?

I'd like to build on a few ancient machines for demo purposes at a museum,
but current GCC source has been stripped of support for various old CPUs.
About the most recent version of GCC that I can compile is probably around
2.7, which I suspect is way too old :-(

Failing that, was there a time when povray was straight C code rather than
C++? It's not like I can render scenes that take advantage of lots of new
features on slow old equipment anyway, so an older version of povray would
be fine - but if they all need C++ then I suspect I'm out of luck :-(

cheers

Jules
