You should be able to rebuild:

 ftp://people.redhat.com/jakub/gcc3/3.1-1/gcc3-3.1-1.src.rpm
 
and get something that installs alongside the 2.96 system compiler.

Your suggestion is probably better, but I also put my gcc3.1 tar-ball
at:

	ftp://ftp.hpl.hp.com/pub/linux-ia64/gcc-3.1.tar.gz

	md5sum /opt/packages/gcc-3.1.tar.gz
	4aea7b7faa76c25fc5889cafc36c5c80  /opt/packages/gcc-3.1.tar.gz

It extracts into /opt/gcc3.1 and includes the complete toolchain (gcc,
gas, ld, gdb).  As a bonus, the objdump contains the Itanium dispersal
support recently posted by the IBM folks.

As usual, no warranty etc.

Thanks to all for your help. 
I installed the gcc 3.1 from David's tar file and it's OK 
(unless the MCA, but this is an other story :-):
