Trying to "downgrade" under RedHat 7.1


	I know that this is unlikely to be a gcc fault since I've built gcc-2.95.2 
countless times without incident but I'm asking here in hopes that someone 
else has encountered the same problem. I just installed RedHat 7.1 on my new 
Sony laptop (runs great) but I need to get binary/c++ source compatible gcc & 
g++ running on it which means getting rid of the 2.95.6 creature that RedHat 
provides and getting 2.95.2 on it which is what I run on my other boxes. (Its 
gonna be a few months before we can move to 3.x.)

	I do the normal ./<srcdir>/configure --enable-shared;make bootstrap from a 
build directory but the build process breaks with the following messages:

../../../gcc-2.95.2/libio/indstream.cc: In method `struct streampos 
indirectbuf::seekoff(long long int, ios::seek_dir, int = 3)':
../../../gcc-2.95.2/libio/indstream.cc:82: `struct streampos' used where a 
`int' was expected

make[2]: *** [indstream.o] Error 1
make[1]: *** [all-target-libio] Error 2
make: *** [bootstrap] Error 2

	Any ideas on what I should do? FWIW - RedHat 7.1 uname -a reports "Linux 
bonzo.innoverse.com 2.4.2-2 #1 Sun Apr 8 20:41:30 EDT 2001 i686 unknown"

	thanx & later,

		Ben Scherrey
