I would suggest you use 2.95.2 instead, unless you need to link your code
  with c++ libs built with 2.91.66 .

See http://gcc.gnu.org/install .

I do not know of any caveats with this platform; I have been using gcc
  2.95.2 on redhat 6.1 x86-linux for months.

If you plan to do c++ development with 2.95.2, you will recompile the c++
  libs you develop with.
