Yes true, it's very hard to write multi compiler C++. And like Jean Marc
mentioned, gcc 2.96 is related to the developement of gcc 3.00. I
understand why you ask, you fear that 3.01 and so on will be a problem
too. I exspect there'll be some issues with every release, but not as
many as we'll face now.

Is this really true, did Redhand bundle a developement gcc with RH7?
They are really trying hard to have people download binairy rpm's..
