I'm running Redhat 7.0 with kernel 2.2.16-22, gcc 2.96, MySQL 3.23.45, and PHP 4.1.2.<br /><br />I'd like to upgrade MySQL from 3.23.45 to 3.23.54a.<br /><br />navaho posted in the MySQL forum that it's not safe to use the recent MySQL binary RPMs for a Linux kernel that old, and that the upgrade should be performed using the source RPM.<br /><br />But at mysql.com, it says that it's not safe to rebuild from source using gcc 2.96, and that gcc should be downgraded to 2.95 first.<br /><br />I found this article on how to downgrade gcc from 2.96 to 2.95.3. Does the procedure in that article look correct?
