It finally compiled, a little convoluted but...
I have not tried the module yet since I am not a home with my ill
machine. But it compiled on a different RH8.0 box.

I take that it should be loaded as described with the -f option

Disclaimer, use this procedure at your own risk!!!

Download gcc version 2.95.3 from http://gcc.gnu.org/gcc-2.95/
Saved it to ~/dowload/gcc-2.95.3.tar.gz

 > tar -xvzf gcc-2.95.3.tar.gz

cd to gcc-2.95.3 and read the README and install/index.html 

mkdir ~/gcc_2.95
cd ~/gcc_2.95

I've installed it under /opt/gcc as follows 

First, configure the installation:

> ~/download/gcc-2.95.3/configure --prefix=/opt/gcc
--with-local-prefix=/opt/gcc --with-gxx-include-dir=/opt/gcc/include/g++

(the above is one line)

> make

If all goes fine then "su" to become root

make install

now cd to your pctel dir

> cd ~/download/pctel-0.9.4

set the path to your new (old version) compiler

> export CC=/opt/gcc/bin/gcc

configure the pctel driver

> ./configure --with-hal=pct789

and make

>make

I hope it works for you

Mario
