No. It kept crapping out at the very very end trying to build something
in Mesa..
I tried like 5 times..different things..such as taking the -D_USE-3DNOW,
changing -march=i686 to -march-i386..but it always failed.  I checked
Cooker's Xfree-4.2 SRPMS, AFAIK, Cooker is totally compiled with gcc3.1
but they have about 20+ patches, but nothing that I can find to do with
either gcc3.1, or Mesa. 
I took a screenshot of where it failed..not much help I know..

But...I eventually went into the dir an compiled the file with 
gcc -c gamma_inithw.c -o gamma_inithw.o (which basically makes an empty
object file because it needs the #defines..so it compiled. I then went
back and ran make in the work dir and it built and installed and
everything. THEN I DID SOMETHING DUMB.  I was doing this in Vmware, so I
was keeping various copies of virtual disc. Anyways, before I tried to
use portage to install it, I went and copied the virtual disc to a a
new location, however I screwed up and overwrote this disc with an older
one!!!  Anyways, I have a midterm today so I cannot work on it..I
should be studying now..ha..

I suppose if we can rip Mesa out..it will build..but that's not a
solution, just a quick hack.

bootstrapped with..gcc3.1, perl-5.6.1-r4, binutils-2.12, had to use an
older ncurses but other than that it went pretty smoothly.
