Re: RH7.3 Updates - Compile Issues

["Dr. Michael Albert" <albert@esther.rad.tju.edu>]

There was never a "2.96" release of the GNU compilers, see:

      http://gcc.gnu.org/gcc-2.96.html

to quote:

     GCC 2.96 is not a formal GCC release nor will there ever be such a
     release. Rather, GCC 2.96 has been the code- name for our development
     branch that will eventually become GCC 3.0.

Best wishes and happy New Year,
 Mike
