when you want official info - look at the code's "owner" web site. with gc
- it's somewhere under www.gnu.org . with glib - i don't remember -
perhaps www.gnome.org .

no stench about gcc 2.96, but rather about redhat 7.0 . gcc's latest
official version (as far as i'm still updated) is 2.95 . 2.96 is a
developmenet version that is known to be broken. redhat people just seem
to have been too trigger-happy and installed it before checking what it
was. i guess it's also a "bug" with gcc's people, that didn't call it
2.96pre or something similar. this "version" cannot compile the linux
kernel.
