Well if you did read the article I wonder how much does it really affect the usual linux user. What they said is that programs compiled with 2.96 might not work with libraries compiled with other versions. In any case it is never a good idea to distribute compiled binaries which would use shared libraries for the same reason that the article said. You cant gurantee your client would have libraries compiled with the same gcc version. you either distribute in source or you compile with everything linked statically. Other than that the article doesnt say that your gcc will generate broken code. Or that it will not compile things correctly. The default installation did have issues but the updates distributed by redhat fixed that. What people base there comment on is the blabering which Mplayer guys do. I am yet to hear anyone on LIH complain that mplayer didnt compile with gcc 2.96 though.
