I really have no idea why gcc 2.96 is so troublesome, but for a 
commercial release I was somewhat surprised to see the problems 
I did.  I have heard about some of these problems for quite a 
while, but got a chance to see them upclose with the 7.1 
release.  Hopefully, RedHat will eventually get the issues 
smoothed out.  

Not supporting #ident for CVS managed code bases would see to 
me, at first glance, to be a show stopper to shipping a release 
of anything, since many folks need CVS support.
