Not this is a official release version. If we can just decide to drop 2.96 
we can stick with the following ;-)

gcc 2.91.66 (egcs)
gcc 2.95.{234}
gcc 3.0.{01}

Number 1 is tested and known too compile decent kernels
Number 2 (2.95.3) and higher als seem to produce working kernels but is 
lest tested, except for the SuSE or debian folks
Number 3 is untested but it compiles and boots but that is about it.

2.96 has been a weird product that could have been avoided, but we can't 
turn it back.
Let's try to make RedHat ship a gcc 3 rpm and we can continue developing 
software using a officially released version ;)
