It's just disabled per default.

Any error messages? You might get
ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/9.2/suse/src/gcc-3.3.4-11.src.rpm and
ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/9.2/suse/src/binutils-2.15.91.0.2-7.src.rpm
and do rpmbuild --rebuild on them to get native rpms for amd64. It's
likely that you have more success with those (Or you use 9.2, it has
just been released. They also have a Live DVD which might be nice for
testing without having to install, at:
ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/live-cd-9.2/SUSE-Linux-9.2-LiveDVD.iso
but I have no idea whether there's a gcc on it, I only tried the live cd
so far..

Do you know any details on this one?
