2.96RH, of course.

We don't believe that. In order to improve stability (which we never
had problems with, BTW), we've added "-fno-rtti" and "-fno-exceptions"
to the CFLAGS/CXXFLAGS as the MySQL developers have recommended us
(their code isn't totally stable with them on).

The only known problems with mysql/gcc 2.96RH was in the days just
after the release of RHL 7. (mysql 3.23.earlytwenties, I think) and
were problems in the MySQL source (buggy assembler). 

PS: Updated rpms (of the latest version of MySQL) can be found at 
    http://people.redhat.com/teg/mysql  

PPS: I heartily recommend PostgreSQL - it has lots features MySQL lacks, 
     like FK, subqueries, triggers, stored procedures etc.
