Uhm, well,  I don't know.  :)

Maybe I meant that they use a heavily modified patched
version to create their OS.

- Maybe since REDHAT went to create their own
customised patch of the GNU GCC compiler of 2000, that
doesn't work.

- Maybe in the commented documentation of the Linux 
2.2.17 kernels and above Makefiles, the RH web site,
and the RH docs, which specify the client to build a kernel
to employ the kgcc compiler instead. 

http://www.redhat.com/docs/errata/RHL-7-Manual/

2/3rds of the way down, the recommendations to build a
kernel simply states that, on the website.

The errata documentation notes applies for versions
7.0, 7.1, 7.2 , 7.3 8.0.


I should be more clear.  Sorry about that....
