You might want to take a look at this article:
"Linus Savages Red Hat 7.0"
http://linuxgram.com/newsitem.phtml?sid=109&aid=11453
Quoting Linus:
"I don't know why RH decided to do their idiotic gcc-2.96 release
(it certainly wasn't approved by any technical gcc people - the
gcc people were upset about it too), and I find it even more
surprising that they apparently KNEW that the compiler they were
using was completely broken. They included another (non-broken)
compiler, and called it "kgcc."
