I should say here that I'm one of the "everything's fine" people from
past rounds of this thread. I've had good luck with RH7 for most
purposes. Kernel compilation works fine. Other binaries work fine.
What I'd like to know is, does anybody have any actual experience in
which Red Hat 7's gcc actually caused problems -- rather than just
hollering back and forth about what the gcc people, Linus, or anybody
else has said about it being "broken"?
Thanks,
