That isn't a formal gcc release; see http://gcc.gnu.org/gcc-2.96.html .

"2.96" (of which there appear to be many versions which are difficult to distinguish) has a lot of issues; it has e.g. been known to build gnumeric binaries which produced extremely inaccurate results; gnumeric's CVS version (and some other software as well AFAIK) has been changed to refuse compilation with "2.96". Your best option is to go for 3.1. HTH, Ray -- Linux is many, many years away from being an enterprise-ready operating system that can compete with, and challenge, the Windows platform.
