Subject: RE: the problem about difference between gcc2.7 and gcc2.96
Date: Mon, 15 Oct 2001 12:03:00 -0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <3BC9807D.1AD10846@unitus.it> (raw)

Hi,

a few sparse considerations (not about the specific problem you mention):

1- Despite its misleading name, gcc2.96 is *not* an official GNU release (see,
f.i., http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-announce/2000/msg00003.html ) and you should more
appropriately contact the RedHat support.

2- If you want to stick with RedHat development tools, you may consider trying
gcc2.96-99 (vs 2.96-81, right?) which is part of the "unstable" Rawhide
distribution (f.i., ftp://ftp.redhat.com/pub/redhat/linux/rawhide/ ) and in
general is less buggy.

3- If you are still in the process of updating your development chain (from the
very old 2.7.x) consider testing GNU's gcc2.95.3 or the new 3.0.x series of
official releases (3.0.x is also available as *rpm packages in the Rawhide
distribution, by the way).

Regards,
Paolo Carlini.
