Sure. Those are "add-ons" to gcc, and they are all the same version. If
you want to change the gcc *version*, you're going to have to change all
those others too, plus some libraries (libstdc++ in particular) and any
programs linked to those libraries. You can have different *versions* of
gcc on the same system, but you have to be careful about conflicts.

Maybe my memory is failing me, but I thought you started with a 7.x system
and wanted a gcc-3.2 compiler on it. Your alternatives are:
(1) Upgrade to RH9 (as we were discussing in the other thread).
(2) Install gcc-3.2 and libraries in /usr/local (from source, without
using RPM).
(3) Find the gcc-3.1 RPMs that were meant for installation on RH7.x.
