No, that's not possible.
I recommend following Per's advice: build gcc from source into a fresh
directory. On x86 Linux it will almost never fail (and if it does you
can "cvs update" and try again the next day with success).
I also agree with everybody who says that 3.1 will be much better than
anything before it. We've done a lot of work since 2.96 and 3.0.
