gcc-2.96 compiled binaries do not in fact have binary compatibility with gcc-3.2 compiled programs. The biggest example of this at the present is the fact that some gcc-2.96 compiled binary only proprietary modules are experiencing problems being loaded in a gcc-3.2 compiled kernel. This is not just Mandrake experiencing this, this info is from a RedHat mailing list from their kernel developers. Stay tuned, things will get better soon. Blue skies...
