Reading specs from /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i386-redhat
gcc version 2.95.3 20000503/Linux (prerelease)

I do have gcc installed previously but it doesn't compile a hello world
program successfully. I believe I need a compiler that works fine if I have
to install gcc from its source (to run make bootstrap). As I don't have a proper
compiler installed, I think I need gcc as pre-compiled binary (not as source
and not from a CVS snapshot). where can I get pre-compiled binary for gcc for Linux?

In your installation CD OR from GNU web site.
