I've heard that the gcc 2.96 has MANY bugs , and is not recommended to
use .
The best compiler to use is often the compiler that came with the OS,
which would be the Red Hat gcc-2.96 in your case. If you try to use
another compiler, you may run into ABI issues, versioning problems with
the assembler, linker, glibc, etc. These are solvable issues, but not
ones that a naive user should try to tackle.
Early releases of the Red Hat gcc-2.96 compiler shipped with RHL 7.0
were rather buggy. However, the later updated releases are fine. Since
you have RHL 7.3, the Red Hat gcc-2.96 release that you have should be fine.
