Hi Alex, Michael I think Alex's question is more about having a kernel compiled with a different gcc than the applications that are running on the system. If I understand correctly all the server applications will be from OpenPKG, and compiled with the OpenPKG gcc.
If that's the case, the answer is that it shouldn't matter. However, Michael is right in another sense because the server applications do interact with the gcc-2.9x compiled C library. As a data point, I've been running 10+ servers with redhat-7.3 and OpenPKG 1.3 server applications (mainly apache) without problems for about 6 months with no problems. Except for those caused by my own stupidity of course ;-) Hope this helps...
