Don't know for sure if the compiler that comes with RH7.1's as broken as
that which comes with 7.0.  I was able to trace my problems with Alsa to
the kernel source and headers that comes with RH7.1 (2.4.2-2).  I removed
the kernel-source and kernel-headers packages (overriding dependency
errors), installed the pure source for 2.4.3 (which was available at the
time), and created the necessary symlinks to /usr/src/linux in
/usr/include.  I also installed gcc-2.95.3 in /usr/local.  The combination
of the two fixed my problems compiling alsa, but I suspect you'd do ok
with just the new kernel.
