No, it can't, unfortunately.
Neither 2.95.3 or any other officially releasead GCC is completely ok, for
that matter.
To the best of my knowldedge you may:
1- Wait for the first 3.0.x/2.2.x couple certified as compatible (a couple
of months away?)
2- Apply a couple of patches to 2.95.3 (see, f..i,
http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc/2001-06/msg01985.html ) or download a 2.95.4
snapshot (or wait for 2.95.4 itself)
3- Use 2.96-RH

(Personally, I chose 2- and everything went fine)

If someone in the know (f.i., H.J. Lu, A. Jaeger, J. Jelinek) would like to
post an update on this obnoxious issue we  - the users of both those GNU
packages - would all be very grateful!

Paolo Carlini.
