This kind of ad hominem attack strikes me as completely inappropriate for
this mailing list. Please cut it out.

For another side to the gcc-2.96 issue see:

who after all are the maintainers. For what it's worth I personally have
found errors when compiling the linux kernel, which were immediately
resolved by downloading 2.95.3 instead.
