So, I'm thinking this is not the full story because I also found this, http://www.redhat.com/f/pdf/rhel/rhel5_whatsnew.pdf and it also talks about compatibility ( under the GCC 4.1 Compiler section ). "...enable applications that were previously certified on the versions 3 and 4..." Maybe the keyword here is "certified" thanks, Barry On Mon, Jun 16, 2008 at 12:02 PM, Jos Vos <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > On Mon, Jun 16, 2008 at 11:53:34AM -0400, Barry Andrews wrote: > > > EL5 claims to be fully compatible with binaries that were built on EL4 > and > > 3. > > Where is that claimed?
