Yes, this won't work, unless you're using only C APIs.

GCC 2.96 is not a true GCC release.  It's buggy and you shouldn't use it 
for production code.

I build Xalan-C with gcc 3.2.3 regularly.  I don't know what these "heaps 
of warnings" are, and you didn't attach any output, so it's hard to say 
what's wrong.

Redhat 8 and 9.  RHEL 3.0.  Fedora core 1 and 2 are some Red Hat platform 
I've used to build Xalan-C.

Try re-sending the output, but paste the _relevant_ part of it into an 
email.
