Then the answer is 'Good'. But if your question is,
'I want to build external (not OpenPKG) software with the OpenPKG gcc'
Then you're on your own. In almost all cases it's fine, but there is
software (like the IRRToolSet and many others) which don't build easily
with OpenPKG GCC. In the case of IRRToolSet, it has nonstandard constructs
that only nonstandard (older 2.9X) GCC compilers can parse.
Of course the ultimate answer is to try it out yourself. If there's
something that you've been compiling with the Red Hat native GCC, then try
building a test copy of the software with the OpenPKG GCC now.
