I use 2.96 on my mandrake 8.0 box thats probably why you get some of 
the strange error messages that you do. As I understand it it's not 
broke like redhats version and the main reason that it gives more 
errors is that it is more standards compliant. The reason most people 
complain about it is because they would rather blaim the compiler than 
fix thier buggy code. Not being a c programer I can't say tis from 
experiance. It's just what I've heard. Also from what I've heard the 
compiled product is better, And from a few posts from alen cox, he says 
that atr least from about a month ago that 2.96 is all he uses to 
compile his kernels with.
