Yep :) The system I'm writing this on is built-from-scratch, cross-built
from a 586 (it's an UltraSparc).
So it *can* be done :)

Nope, there's no Microsoft ownership :) the GCC-2.96 was there because
it *does* have much better C++ support than 2.95.x --- but unfortunately
it had other downsides, like yet another breaking of C++ binary
compatibility, and miscompilation problems :(
Given that RH employs the largest concentration of GCC expertise on the
planet, they'd be the only people likely to be able to do this and get
away with a reasonable compiler at the end of it :)
