I have to wholeheartedly disagree with this. RH took the development
code (from the CVS tree, mind you) and released it as the primary
compiler on RH7. The gcc team has stated time and time again that the
code that was shipped by RH is unstable, and completely incompatible.
Anything compiled with 2.96 is incompatible with the egcs 1.1.2 libs,
and it will be incompatible with the upcomming 3.0 as well because there
are already major changes in the code base that they planned on making.
No good can come of it.
