Usually, the SRPMS contain some fixes and special configure parameters
to adapt them to the distribution. Unfortunately, a closer look at the
package tells me that it probably only works for PowerPC in the
current configuration, but you can try it anyway (remove '--with-cpu=750'
from the .spec).

Your other options are:

- try gcc3 from cooker
- try the newer gcc-2.96 from cooker
- look for gcc-2.95 packages for Red Hat -- they usually work as well
- Fix the source of your program -- 98% of the gcc-2.96 problems 
  are really bugs in the source that older compilers ignored.
