You should use 2.95.2 - 2.95 has some rather serious bugs. RPMs for 2.95.2 can be found at http://people.redhat.com/bero/experimental.html > But it needs still another version of libstdc++ (2.10).

The RPM mentioned above includes a new version of libstdc++-compat, which provides a compatibility library for egcs 1.1.x'ish libstdc++. If you don't want to depend on libstdc++-compat, recompiling everything using libstdc++ is the way to go. Also, you should upgrade binutils along with gcc 2.95.2. ===
