The distribution has gcc32 package so you are free to use older
compiler
(that possibly works).
you missed what I said about c++ code being referenced - for pure c
code gcc32 works
Anyway - the maintainer of gstreamer shoud fix his package and this
is
the only way to force him to do it.
its not only gstreamer
We need better compiler all the time. We need to be able to use it
in
Enterprise environment (like glibc with NTPL etc). This is not
possible
to use 5 years old compiler with bilions of documented bugs and
workarounds included to our source code.
not talking about 5 years old compiler - I am referring to a previous
point release.
previously, when RH has included a new compiler, compat packages have
been included for previous version
