I've been running gcc 2.95 on RHL 6.x (and 5.0) for quite some time.
Broke nothing so far as I've noticed, and the compiler (and its results) have
had lots of exercise.
My RHL 5.0 system has glibc 2.1 and the 2.0 compatibility libraries and
nothing broke there either. It has a veritable hodge-podge of packages from RL
5.x and 6.x on it.
