May as well drop 3.1, too. It was a runt
version that was quickly replaced by 3.2.

We're going to require 3.2

Indeed, the current -mm tree requires 3.2.

And I know of _official_ (meaning from important developers) warnings against 3.0/3.1 GCCs - in fact, most distros switched directly from 2.95/2.96 to 3.2 (I know this for sure for Mandrake, for instance).
