You're best option would be to download the RPM packages for it - they are
much easier to install and update.
You can get them from, eg., http://rpmfind.net.
Just search gcc, gcc-g++, and any other packages you might need. Then pick
which version you like (for Mandrake).
If you really want to update from the sources, you need to download also
gcc-2.95.2.tar.gz, and read the instructions at http://gcc.gnu.org/install/.
