I've also had problems with the version of gcc mandrake installs. To install 2.95.3, I down loaded the source from gcc.gnu.org and compiled it. Just make sure to pass --prefix=/somedir/ to configure where somedir is not an install dir for your other versions of gcc. The install docs are pretty straight forward.
