If you want binary compatibility with the compiler supplied in old Redhat distributions, you should compile that very same compiler from the SRPMs of that distro. Redhat shipped a heavily patched/forked gcc during that timeframe, and it's unlikely that something you'd build from a FSF release would be completely compatible. Brian
