gcc-2.95.2 Fails to Compile on RedHat 7.0 System

[rruth at computer dot org]

gcc-2.95.2 (and 2.95.1) fails to compile on an Intel RedHat 7.0 System.  make 
bootstrap fails during stage 2. I tried 'make bootstrap' twice: once with 
CC=kgcc (based on egcs-1.1.2) and again with CC=gcc (based on gcc2.96).  Both 
fail well into stage 2.

Any Ideas on compiling gcc-2.95.2 on RH 7.0 would be appreciated.  (gcc2.96, 
that comes with RH 7.0 has problems compiling certain packaes like MySQL and 
dosemu)
