Ah. Of course. Foot removed from mouth. :-) > > RH6.2 [...] current version of RedHat now being 7.2 > > Does RedHat still have the problem of using a non-released > experimental version of egcs? On 7.2? I don't know. On the mirrors, RH 7.2 has GCC 2.96 (build 98), 7.1 has GCC 2.96 (build 81) and 7.0 has GCC 2.96 (build 54). It looks like they might still be using a custom version of an experimental EGCS. Glibc versions are 2.2.4, 2.2.2 and 2.1.92, respectively. There is also a (small) problem building on 6.2: stock 6.2 shipped a GCC with a known floating point bug. The Ogg Vorbis team stumbled over this one. They were not amused. Fortunately, there is a patch from RedHat for that. If it helps any, I've got a 7.1 and a 6.2 install on different PCs. But them, someone's already mentioned SourceForge's build farm.
