I'm just trying to rebuild the i686 kernel on RH 7.2. It is updated to
the latest erata, which is
gcc-2.96-108.7.2
and
gcc3-3.0.4-1
I'll let you know where it dies.
BTW, if someone could try the same on an up to date RedHat 7.3, it may
build there although I don't believe because most packages are almost
the same.
