[ILUG] Why did redhat ship a GCC snapshot with RedHat 7 ?

[Thor]

If anyone has _any_ problems related to compiling due to the gcc version in
Red Hat Linux 7 please try a few things:

Try the latest gcc rpms in rawhide (ftp.redhat.com/rawhide) and see if the 
problem continues to exhist.  This rawhide rpm is being updated consistently
and is the continuing development of a gcc errata that will be forthcoming.

Please relay to me preprocessed source and command line arguments used to 
reproduce any bugs in gcc by running gcc (or g++ or g77, etc) with -save-temps 
-v options.

There are a number of bugs in bugzilla against gcc.  Please cross reference
if you can, file reports or just pass in information along to me as I am 
putting together a grouping of such to pass along to Engineer who is improving
and fixing issues in this package.

Any and all information helps and we greatly appreciate it.

Cheers,

Thor
