Ouch... 7.0 is basically a beta release, judging from the (lack of) maturity of
many of it's major components. I'm using 7.0 myself on two systems, and I like
the parts that work - but I had to fix quite a few things, and I'm expecting to
see more.

First, upgrade the main C and C++ compiler to gcc-2.96-64. That fixes some bugs
in the compiler.
(The first time I realived that the original RH7.0 is really broken was when I
and the author of a game were trying to figure out when his game didn't work
properly on my 7.0 systems. It turned out that the compiler messes up the
optimizations when doing structure assignments in some cases...)
Second, install the kgcc package (an older and more reliable compiler; only C)
and then use kgcc for anything you suspect insn't compiling properly. Use it
for *all* code that is to run in kernel space. AFAIK, you still *have* to use it
to compile the Linux kernel properly. (That might have changed, but I wouldn't
trust the new compiler to get it right just yet, having seen package after
package of *user* space C code fail in mysterious ways.)
