The known issues are documented in emails on the Linux Kernel mailing list.
gcc 2.96 is a snapshot of a development version of gcc 3.0. If you read

Redhat recommends using kgcc to build kernels. I seriously doubt they are
using gcc 2.96. The new version of gcc was included to "prepare" people for
the new version, but Redhat also packaged egcs, for compiling kernels.
