Yep.

What would it do?  Just check whether the appropriate libraries are
installed, and substitute in compiler flags?  Shouldn't be too hard, but
stay away from autoconf if you want it to end up in mythtv.

The 2.95 stuff is, if not bug-free, at least mature.  What bugs it has are
relatively well-known.  I have nothing against working with gcc 3.2, and
trying out the new CPU optimizations which are not available in 2.95, but I
don't see any significant obstacle to users doing that today.
