So you're saying thatr even after setting the binaries to 777 you cannot
execute them?  THen you most likely need to use chattr (see the man page).
How did you back this stuff up that the perms on the binaries are all
screwed?

Your experience is definitely the most common one. As a rule, I wouldn't
recommend mixing and matching the way I have because doing so might well
trigger obscure compiler or library bugs. So far, I haven't experienced 
this, but that doesn't mean it couldn't happen. In theory, though, this
type of mix 'n' match should not be an issue in user-space apps because
the compiler ordinarily can be relied upon to Do The Right Thing.

No arguments needed.  I'm happy to hear this bit, too.

  From everything I read, the major vendors in their rush to get out

 Well, then, the problem is not the compiler, but the vendors who
 havedone their usual sloppy work.
  

We could fill volumes with vendors who have done their usual sloppy
work, most especially with binary only products, but there don't seem
to be a lot of alternatives to these in the plugin world.  With this
one exception, I have no objection to a new compiler, but I'm not
convinced that I really need it yet.  BTW, I was the last in my
neighborhood to get a microwave, so just color me behind the times.

Separately compiled components that have no interaction can be
compiled with either compiler, and neither is aware of the other, but
early adaptors on gentoo did indeed report disastrous results when a
mix of components compiled with the two different compilers was
attempted (I don't have the details).

Putting all that aside, I'm still not convinced that there is any
great advantage to the new compiler at present.  I ran with the latest
gentoo (gcc 3.2 based) for several months with no problems including
upgrades (except for the fact that binary plugins for moz, etc., are
not available).  Now I'm running RH 7.3 which uses the old compiler. 
I'm not noticing any performance difference on my desktop machine. 
The last recommendation I read on the 2.5.x development kernel still
recommended 2.95.xx.  gcc 3.2 does have extra support for the AMD
chips, but I have a PIII machine.

From everything I read, the major vendors in their rush to get out 3.2
based products have done their usual sloppy work (not enough testing
before release), so I'll let the pioneers fend off the arrows (most of
the arrows have nothing to do with 3.2).  At some point the mix will
change, and there will be a compelling reason to switch to 3.2, and
there will be a reliable RH, etc.. distro (gentoo is, of course, just
as stable with 3.2 as with the older compiler), but I don't believe
that time has come yet.

At present, if you want a fully functional browser with all the
plugins (many of these are binary only), you need to compile your
browser with 2.95.xx, and I can't see screwing around with 2 compilers
on my system.

This is not meant to discourage those who like to tinker - lord knows
I've been bitten by that bug often enough.

 If you are a typical user of RPMs, you'll need to find a lot of RPMs,
 or use SRPMa ro rebuild everything.  Most distros are beginning to
 provide 3.2 based installs, but these are a mixed bag at present,
 since they always drag in something poisonous (i.e. untested) in
 addition to 3.2.
 
 I've used a 3.2 based distro (gentoo), and it's totally innocuous, if
 done properly.  OTOH, it's no fantastic improvement, so you're
 probably better off (TM) waiting for everything (binary plugins,
 especially) to catch up.
