Some software I need to install has alerted me to the 'erroneous
release' of a development version of gcc with the RH7.0 distribution
(http://gcc.gnu.org/gcc-2.96.html).

A recent magazine review of RH7.1 I've seen (Linux Format?) states that
this problem is now fixed. However, following my upgrade to RH7.1, I see
that the gcc version is still 2.96 (looks like 2.96-81 from the package
names).  Furthermore, the RH web-site bug-fix page lists a 'new version
of gcc 2-96 fixing several bugs' for RH 7.1.

This is all very confusing to a Linux newbie - anyone care to cast some
light?

Thanks in anticipation, Rob
