No, RH took a developmental snapshot of gcc, and fixed many bugs,
did rigorous testing of it, and shipped a pretty solid compiler.
All software has bugs however, so gcc in Red Hat Linux 7.0 may in
fact have some. It is not full of "all manner of bugs" however
as you claim. It is pretty rock solid. The gcc folk were not
pleased because they didn't want to get bug reports for a release
of gcc that they did not officially release.
This doesn't mean it is buggy at all.

Please take your OS distribution wars somewhere else.
