    This looks more like a Red Hat packaging problem than

RH7.1 with gcc-3.0 (./configure --prefix=/usr; make bootstrap)
>Description:
It started trying to compile Mozilla 0.9.2. I was getting const out of bounds. in the idl file it was "2" or "1 << 2". then I started debugging libIDL-0.6.so

I used RH7.1 ORBit-0.5.7 src.rpm and tried to compile it.  I stated getting errors with that libIDL.  Then I changed libIDL to debug (-g) and traced into it.  I got lost in yyparse(); until the error 
"/usr/lib/gcc-lib/i686-gnu-linux-pc/3.0/include/stddef.h  parse error TOK_SHORT or TOK_LONG expected"

I realize that this ?bug? is not well defined. 

If RedHat used a gcc-2.95 I would not have to  use 3.0 (I would anyway).
It would be great if you made a gcc-3.0 rpm so people could upgrade to a good compile with out these type of problems
