Not to apologize for what's obviously a mistake in bundling a
bleeding-edge compiler, but RHL-7.0 actually also includes the compiler
(egcs-1.1.2) from the previous stable RHL release:
ftp://ftp.redhat.com/%2Fpub/redhat/redhat-7.0/i386/en/RedHat/RPMS
lftp> ls -1 compat*
compat-egcs-6.2-1.1.2.9.i386.rpm
compat-egcs-c++-6.2-1.1.2.9.i386.rpm
compat-egcs-g77-6.2-1.1.2.9.i386.rpm
compat-egcs-objc-6.2-1.1.2.9.i386.rpm
compat-glibc-6.2-2.1.3.2.i386.rpm
compat-libstdc++-6.2-2.9.0.9.i386.rpm
ftp://ftp.redhat.com/%2Fpub/redhat/redhat-7.0/i386/en/RedHat/RPMS
lftp>
Installing those packages and manipulating the CC and CFLAGS
environment variables before ./configure-ing would probably allow folks
to use the older compiler and libstdc++ library.
