Go for a newer distribution, Red Hat 9 is years old.
Fedora Core 1 is what should have been Red Hat 10, and the latest now are Fedora Core 4.

you should be able to have both co-existing on your system if you install what should have been to /usr/bin/gcc into, say, /opt/gnu/bin/gcc ... another part of GCC has to be into /usr/lib/gcc/<version>-<machine>/ ... Just leave it there (it shouldn't overwrite anything else)
Most compiling tools under unix systems use $CC environment variable to know which gcc they should use, so before using the new 3.4.x, just
setenv $CC /opt/gnu/bin/gcc
and when returning to normal operations, just
unsetenv $CC
and voil?
