(I tried to install glibc 2.0.6 in the meantime. However, that
failed miserably due to syntax errors. Interestingly, glibc
2.0.6. recommends gcc 2.7.2.3 which I outright refuse to
install.)

I start to doubt it'd make sense to support 7.1 after the
1.32 release. If the compiler requires such ancient stuff
then it will get abandoned quickly by developers.
