It's pretty cynical to learn that at Google the RHEL packages have been

It's amazing that this even worked, we'd be better off if it didn't...
They must be using mock, which is available in Ubuntu.
They cannot be using mock, otherwise it wouldn't pick up the newer, alien
libstdc++ from Ubuntu 12.04. Besides, if they did it would all have
magically worked (or not have built at all).
Version : 27.0.1453.110
Build Host: lin64build12.chrome.corp.google.com
vs
Version : 28.0.1500.70
Build Host: precise64build2.chrome.corp.google.com
RPM version: 4.9.1.1
So the RPM version pretty much gives away that they do not build on RHEL.
And rpm-4.9.1.1 is exactly what ships with Ubuntu Precise Pangolin (aka
Ubuntu 12.04).
Need more proof ? :-)
