Yes I know 2.96 is evil :) but I never had any problems with it. I have
used it to compile multiple generations of Linux kernels, XFree, KDE,
MPlayer. All of these have always been running rock-solid.
The real pain is that I have to do a complete re-install of my from
top-to-bottom customized installation if I want to get rid of that
stupid gcc 2.96....
But if I am the only one with this compile problem, I understand your
decision to not do anything about it.
