what you've encountered is probably redhat's most foolish act when
preparing RH v7.0: taking a beta version of gcc and putting that as the
compiler for their distribution. gcc 2.95 is the latest stable version of
gcc. 2.96 is a snapshot version, and not stable.

note that this might or might not be related to your specific compilatin
problems - there could be other problems, such as missing include files on
your system, etc.

i will conclude with the same warning as from a flame war from a few weeks
back - don't install *.0 versions of RH - wait till *.1 (or even *.2) for
things to stabilize (or use a different distribution - thought i've no
idea how stable their *.0 versions are).
