They never had an official GNU compiler in RH6.x: they had egcs.  gcc
2.95.2 has been the gcc/g77 compiler of choice for a long time, and
according to gcc.gnu.org still is.

That''s what I have been using for 18 months, and I believe what Martyn
Plummer uses for his RH6.2 RPMs (although at some point he mentions
2.95.1).
