Be very careful when you install GCC 3.2.  If you have any kernel
drivers that are provided by a third party, such as nVIDIA drivers, they
must be compiled by GCC 3.2 if the kernel is compiled by GCC 3.2.

This means that if you move to the Redhat 7.3.94 (Null) beta, your
nVIDIA drivers from nVIDIA will no longer load.  They do not have a GCC
3.2 driver set out yet.  I found out about this the hard way.

GCC 3.2 is going to be a rough upgrade for all concerned.
