Any help is appreciated!

Here's the error dialog:

"The two most common things in the Universe are Hydrogen and Stupidity."

CC = gcc

with

CC = kgcc

This should tell the Makefile to use the 2.91.66 compiler
that Red Hat put in the distro for kernel compilations.
(The only good thing I've ever heard about 2.96 was from
Red Hat's propaganda; the FSF says this version should
not be used for production code and that it shouldn't have
been included in any distros, as it is purely an internally-
used development branch of GCC.)

Hope this helps.

(1) applying the patch at
    http://clisp.cons.org/~haible/gcc-glibc-2.2-compat.diff

or

(2) trying gcc-2.95.3.test*, which is being prepared for release soon; see
    http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc/2001-03/msg00387.html

However gcc 2.95.2 does not compile out-of-the-box with glibc 2.2, which
RedHat 7 comes with.

So instead you could download a patched one - for example mine:

www.amagerkollegiet.dk/~moffe/

This one will compile and install fine on RedHat 7 (at least it did on
my box and a couple of others).

Good luck

You have to patch gcc. Check: http://www.gnu.org/software/gcc/bugs.html

2.35.   When recompiling GCC, I get compilation errors in libio.

{BH} You are trying to recompile gcc 2.95.2?  Use gcc 2.95.2.1 instead.
This version is needed because the fpos_t type and a few libio internals
have changed in glibc 2.2, and gcc 2.95.2.1 contains a corresponding patch.

You're essentially doing this.

I installed glibc-2.2.2 last week, and replace my gcc-2.95.2 compiler
with gcc-2.95.3-test4. This is the test release of the 2.95.3 version
of GCC, and now there is a test5 release. It built without a hitch.

ftp://gcc.gnu.org/pub/gcc/releases/2.95.3-prerelease

It may also be available on GNU mirrors - the above site is often hard
to get in to.
