The redhat rpms work fine side by side. gcc3 is the default (/usr/bin/gcc). To
use 2.96, you have to change your Makefiles to CC=gcc296, or set the env var
and then just make. I've had no problem with executables from either compiler
finding the correct runtime libs.

The rpms are:
compat-gcc-7.3-2.96.110
gcc-3.2-7

They are from the redhat 8.0 distribution but my system is a mismash, 7.0
with many upgrades.
