Hiren,
The gcc-2.96 released with RedHat 7.0 is a development snapshot of the compiler, not an offical gcc release. It has some changes which makes it impossible to build a kernel. RedHat 7.0 also includes a rpm with kgcc ( "Kernel GCC" ) which provides the compile you should use for this task.
Over the past couple of weeks, there has been a lot of discussion on this mailing list of this topic. Check the archives for more of the gory details.
Good luck!
David
