There are two possible reasons. One may be that 2.96 has bugs in it,
although Red Hat have been working hard to fix all the problems that
emerged with the initial release of their version 2.96.
More likely is the fact that the language definition for C++ has
changed a good deal since version 2.91, and many constructs that would
have been valid C++ at that time have since been forbidden. 2.96
will follow the more up-to-date rules, and so may reject constructs
that are accepted by 2.91
The best places to ask questions like this are on the gcc-help
mailing list (this is the main gcc mailing list for the people who
work on writing gcc itself; it isn't about how to write code *with*
gcc), and the usenet newsgroups news:gnu.gcc.help and news:gnu.g++.help
