Can you quantify 'a long time ago'? Is this compiler dependent?

what about a 750gx?

I have a GigE (PowerMac 3,4?) with an upgrade card that has a pair of
7455s on it and an 8600 with a 750GX cpu card. I can probably test
this on the GigE. It is running 2.6.36. Is that recent enough? The
8600 is not cooperating.

The GigE is running 2.6.36 compiled with 4.3.5 built from sources. It
seems to run fine.
