TNG 2.6 and RedHat 7

[Kevin Colby]

Just for the record, the details are that RH 7.0 is shipping with
'gcc' as gcc 2.96 and 'kgcc' as egcs 1.1.2.  Many products do not
yet conform to gcc 2.96's stricter syntax including current Linux
kernel source, and apparently Samba as well.

I'm crossposting to -technical to ask if anyone is aware of or
working on reviewing or testing for gcc 2.96?
