It is not necessary to put /usr/local/lib/* in the PATH.  The gcc in
/usr/local/bin will find the correct gcc-lib directory (if it was
installed correctly).

Probably because the gcc you are using is /usr/bin/gcc.  Which looks in
/usr/lib/gcc-lib for the support files.

When you copied the gcc 2.95.3 from another RH system, was that from the
/usr/local prefix?  You can not copy gcc from /usr to /usr/local.  When
gcc was built, it is given the prefix directory.  gcc will then use this
prefix directory to find things like libgcc*.a and crt*.o.  You can try
use the -B option to tell gcc to look somewhere else.
