Was/is it? $ cat /etc/redhat-release Red Hat Linux release 9 (Shrike) $ grep -l GCC: /usr/lib/*.a | while read f; do strings -a $f | grep GCC: | head -1; done | sort | uniq -c 26 GCC: (GNU) 3.2.1 20021207 (Red Hat Linux 8.0 3.2.1-2) 2 GCC: (GNU) 3.2.1 20030127 (Red Hat Linux 8.0 3.2.1-5) 9 GCC: (GNU) 3.2.1 20030127 (Red Hat Linux 8.0 3.2.1-6) 24 GCC: (GNU) 3.2.1 20030202 (Red Hat Linux 8.0 3.2.1-7) 2 GCC: (GNU) 3.2.2 20030213 (Red Hat Linux 8.0 3.2.2-1) 1 GCC: (GNU) 3.2.2 20030217 (Red Hat Linux 8.0 3.2.2-2) 10 GCC: (GNU) 3.2.2 20030222 (Red Hat Linux 3.2.2-4) 11 GCC: (GNU) 3.2.2 20030222 (Red Hat Linux 3.2.2-5) It appears to be a little chaotic but it is obvious a large part of the distro is compiled with various RH variants of GCC 3.2.x. Moreover, I can't find anything like RH GCC 2.96 in the original distro: $ lftp ftp.redhat.com lftp ftp.redhat.com:/pub/redhat> cd /pub/redhat/linux/9/en/os/i386/RedHat/RPMS/ cd ok, cwd=/pub/redhat/linux/9/en/os/i386/RedHat/RPMS lftp ftp.redhat.com:/pub/redhat/linux/9/en/os/i386/RedHat/RPMS> ls gcc* -rw-r--r-- 1 ftpadm ftpadm 4518355 Feb 25 2003 gcc-3.2.2-5.i386.rpm -rw-r--r-- 1 ftpadm ftpadm 1902283 Feb 25 2003 gcc-c++-3.2.2-5.i386.rpm -rw-r--r-- 1 ftpadm ftpadm 1854834 Feb 25 2003 gcc-g77-3.2.2-5.i386.rpm -rw-r--r-- 1 ftpadm ftpadm 5867574 Feb 25 2003 gcc-gnat-3.2.2-5.i386.rpm -rw-r--r-- 1 ftpadm ftpadm 1526204 Feb 25 2003 gcc-java-3.2.2-5.i386.rpm -rw-r--r-- 1 ftpadm ftpadm 1299772 Feb 25 2003 gcc-objc-3.2.2-5.i386.rpm On the other hand, both their original Mozilla package (mozilla-1.2.1-26.i386.rpm) and the latest RH update (mozilla-1.4.2-0.9.0.i386.rpm) appear to be built with RH GCC 2.96 because they require libstdc++-libc6.2-2.so.3 rather than libstdc++.so.5. (Unfortunately, I can't find any GCC tag in Mozilla packages. There are no static libraries there.)
