You cannot compile new programs with 2.96-RH though, which is done on
purpose. FC3 is going to contain compat-gcc (GCC 3.3.4, hopefully with a
switch for GCC 3.2 binary compatibility), gcc (GCC 3.4.[12]) and gcc35
(preview of GCC trunk, which ought to be binary compatible with 3.4.[12]).
Shipping more compilers is just insane.
Am I right in thinking the bincompat breaks between 3.2, 3.3 and 3.4 are
all related to very obscure parts of the c++ standard and probably won't
affect people on a day to day basis? Last time I checked this was the
case, but that was a while ago ...
