Hm... if this is a RH7 box it should be there, but maybe not if you
didn't select "kernel development" when you installed.

kgcc is just an older (stable) version of gcc, and you can get it from

ftp://ftp.rpmfind.net/linux/redhat/redhat-7.0/i386/en/RedHat/RPMS//kgcc-1.1.2-40.i386.rpm

or any Red Hat mirror...

Yep, this is the FSF complaining about Red Hat releasing a snapshot of
gcc, which won't build the kernel - as you found out.  :)
