Hiren,
The gcc-2.96 released with RedHat 7.0 is a development snapshot of the
compiler, not an offical gcc release. It has some changes which makes it
impossible to build a kernel. RedHat 7.0 also includes a rpm with kgcc (
"Kernel GCC" ) which provides the compile you should use for this task.
Over the past couple of weeks, there has been a lot of discussion on this
mailing list of this topic. Check the archives for more of the gory details.
Good luck!
David
