If you want to compile applications on RH7.0, use their gcc-2.96 compiler.
RH's 2.96 has a different ABI (application binary interface) and code-generation
style than basically any other Linux system out there. They used that compiler
to compile all their libraries.
if you build gcc.2.95.3 or gcc.3.0, and then use it to compile apps which link
against the
c library provided by RH you will end up with apps that are buggy, may not run,
and
when they crash, won't provide very useful info.
Furthermore, RH7 apps will not be compatible with ohter Linuxes, so if you build
your app
on RH7 and ship it to a user who's not using RH7, the app will act funny, since
the target
system ABI is not compatible.
Then again, you may be lucky and the app will "just run", especially if it's just
a C app.
