For gcc 3.4.1 the situtation is: the standard library on my system has
been built with threading support. I'm now added the required -pthread
to my gcc-3.4.1 toolset. This should fix most of the problems.

That's correct. The standard library implementation shipped with gcc-2
is very limit with respect to streams: no templates, no locales, etc.

I'll remove the intel-8 results again. This looks very much like there
were stale .o files from the time when I didn't have enough disk space.

gcc-2 is not supported by Spirit. I planning to make Spirit 1.6.1
available for the tests.
