Make sure you compile epiphany with gcc2, this is needed because mozilla
in 9.1 is compiled with gcc2.

you will need mozilla-devel gcc2.96 and gcc2.96c++ installed. do urpmi
mozilla-devel gcc2.96 gcc2.96c++


Then you need to _enable_ gcc2 this is done by update-alternatives (read
up on the man page for this tool)
update-alternatives --config gcc
update-alternatives --config g++
make sure you select the gcc2 version. Remember that gcc/g++ points at the
2.xx version until you switch back.
