The reason for my initial question about the GCC 3.2 compiler and a compiler fit for kernel work is that a remembered the problem with GCC 2.96. I am patching a 2.4.20 kernel with the RTAI real-time executive patch. The latest RTAI patch says in a README file that the GCC 3.2 compiler gives lots of scarey warnings when used to do the compile and I would rather avoid this problem despite the fact that the build is reported to work. So, recalling that in the Redhat 7.2 there was another compiler besides the 2.96, I was wondering if RedHat 8.0 contains a 2.95.3 compiler somewhere which can be installed. My understanding is that 2.95 is still the "official" compiler for kernel work.
