[Bug c++/20378] New: GCC 2.96 installation fails on Redhat 9 version

[ramya dot chandar at wipro dot com]

Environment       : i686-pc-linux-gnu
Compiler Version  : GCC 2.96
Kernel Version    : 2.4.20-8 (Redhat 9)

I am not able to do the installation of GCC 2.96 on Redhat 9.

Configuration is happening successfully. But, while giving the make, it is
failing with the below given error message.

make[1]: Entering directory
`/viewstore/gcc-2.96/gcc-2.96-2.96/gcc-2.96-20000731/gcc'

Any idea, why this problem is happening with GCC 2.96 on Redhat 9.

NOTE:
The GCC 2.96 installation is happening successfully with Linux 2.4.7-10 (Redhat
7.2 version)
