You're probably better off just building gcc-3.2 from source and installing it somewhere in parallel (so you can still use the RH stock compiler, which is needed for binary API compatibility for C++). It's pretty painless, and gives you both choices. Example: ... unpack gcc-3.2 source tree and cd into it ... mkdir /opt/gcc-3.2 ./configure --prefix=/opt/gcc-3.2 make bootstrap && make install && echo YES ln -s /opt/gcc-3.2/bin/gcc /usr/local/bin/gcc-3.2 and there you are. Uninstall is as easy as: rm -rf /opt/gcc-3.2 rm /usr/local/bin/gcc-3.2 In this way you can install and test several different versions of the compiler if that is your need.
