Problem Compiling gcc 2.95.2

[Tom Browder]

I tried to recapture gcc 2.95.2 on my new Red Hat 7.0 i386 distribution by using the
kgcc compiler which reports the following using the "--version" option: egcs-2.91.66

host: Linux 2.2.16-22 i686 unknown

configuration command: ../gcc-2.95.2/configure --enable-languages=c++,f77

after configuration, I changed the following lines in "Makefile":
#CC = gcc
CC = kgcc
...
#CXX = c++
CXX = kgcc -x c++

then attempting to build gcc 2.95.2 resulted in the following error messages:
