If you could be specific, there is http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/

Nope, g++ 3.0.x is binary incompatible with 2.95.x, 2.96-RH (and already
binary incompatible with g++ 3.1), so no, you cannot upgrade without
breaking everything.

There are gcc3 rpms in rawhide (though gcc3 is in there as secondary system
compiler, not primary), but
a) they got far less testing than 2.96-RH (which got more than 1.5 years of
heavy testing)
b) is deployed ATM less than 2.96-RH, thus more issues probably will come up
as time goes by
c) gcc 3.x is not able to compile glibc correctly (we're testing a patch
though)
d) g++ 3.0.x is not able to build KDE correctly
