Yes, gcc >= 2.96-98 is explicitly listed as a requirement for building
the kernel SRPM, what confuses me is that this gcc version does not seem
to be available for Red Hat 7.1.

Yes, that should be right... except I'm not sure red hat -offers-
gcc >= 2.96-98 for RHL 7.1. The latest gcc 2.96-x from 7.2 might work,
but that may be uncharted territory.

No, that should not make a difference.
