Ooookays, I have done as you said, installed gcc296 and
g++296 for use with plex and ... the error is gone.

Instead I now have a missing file on my system.

kernel/host-linux.c includes a file asm/uaccess.h which
isn't present on my system. The /usr/include/asm directory
belongs to glibc-kernheaders-2.4-7.20 ("rpm -U --force
glibc-kernheaders-2.4-7.20" didn't work)

Can anyone please run a rpm -qf on this file?

Hi,

to use the old compilers without major hassle on your RedHat
8 installation, you can get the following packages:

 compat-gcc-c++-7.3-2.96.110
 compat-libstdc++-7.3-2.96.110
 compat-libstdc++-devel-7.3-2.96.110
 compat-gcc-7.3-2.96.110

I found those on CD2 of the 3 CD set.

They can be installed alongside the default compiler (3.2-7)

The binaries are called gcc296 and g++296. I haven't tried
compiling plex86 with them but have used them to compile
some old embedded stuff for x86.
