Before I do that, I would need to remove the gcj stuff that are in /usr/bin. If I know how to remove gcj, I'd gladly do that. However, for the particular version of the OS, the entire GCC seems to be bundled into one rpm, and I could not remove just the gcj component. Neither do I wish to mess with files that are part of some RPMs--- in my experience that's invitation for trouble later.
