I want to add gcc  / g++ 2.96 to Fedora core 6 to support some old Red Hat linux programs, what is the best way to do it?
I am thinking of this approach:
Download the sources and build

from scratch.  I believe the "configure" script accepts an argument to add

a prefix/suffix to commands so that gcc could be installed as something

like gcc296.
However, I looked at the gcc download sites and do not find gcc 2.96.
I find only gcc-g++-2.95.3.tar.gz and gcc-g++-3.0.tar.gz.
Where can I find gcc  / g++ 2.96?
If it is not available, should I use gcc  / g++ 2.95.3?
