RH 7.0 also packages another gcc compiler, used to build the kernel packages. (2.95.x or so), and it is renamed as kgcc.
I removed in my copy the 2.96 gcc, installed the kernel compiler, and symlinked ls -s kgcc gcc in /usr/bin
well, no harm done but you still need the gcc source: gcc-2.95.2.tar.gz It's just under 13M, so visit gcc.gnu.org and find their list of mirror sites to download it from.
I know, I tried to build gpc on FreeBSD once. (and might try again next week btw, on 4.2) :-)
But I meant more for the case if 2.96 turns out not to be able to build the compiler, that you can use the kgcc binary to start.
