Im sure many of you share my hatred for this version of gcc. I always found it bizare that mandrake went down this road. At least in 8.1b they have both gcc 3 and 2.96. However, 3 has some issues that make it suitable to keep a 2.9 version of gcc about, i just wondered if it is possible to replace gcc 2.96 with gcc 2.95 in this version of mandrake, preferably without affecting version 3 at all. Ideally i would do this from the binary or source rpms from an older version of mandrake (i believe 7.2 was the last version to ship with gcc 2.95). Im sure there will be dependency errors, especially with the horrendous incorrect dependcy issues with mandrakes rpms, however, if i nodeped the install, would it not work, or does gcc need no other libraries to run? Also, as im downgrading, would i need to recompile glibc and other libraries if i wanted to compile programs that use them, or is the linking information compatible. Im sure some of these questions may sound stupid, but i really dont want to bugger about with installing a new mandrake version on both my pcs. Thanks Tom
