I have updated this page to show the compile and link sequences
under Redhat4.2 with gcc2.7.

But remember that the recommended options for your platform
can be found under $ROOTSYS/test/Makefile.
Under Linux, we are currently supporting 3 different versions:
- Redhat4.2 with gcc2.7
- Redhat5 with gcc2.7
- Redhat5 with EGCS (STRONGLY RECOMMENDED)
Note that, for example, on these 3 systems, the makefiles are
slightly different.
