!I could compile Python 2.0 (and previous betas) with RedHat 6.2, 
!but the compìlation fails in RedHat 7. It seems a problem with
!the compiler (gcc-2.96, I think).

You can look on the gnu site for the disclaimers on using this snapshot
version of gcc. Save yourself a lot of grief and either build 2.95.2 or
get an rpm for it, and ditch 2.96.
