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:

http://www.gnu.org/software/gcc/gcc-2.96.html

found errors when compiling the linux kernel, which were immediately
resolved by downloading 2.95.3 instead.
