Re: [PLUG] RedHat 7.1 glibc2.1 Backward compat - revisited

[Fred K Ollinger <follinge@sas.upenn.edu>]

	I'm not going to add to the debate, just remark that a broken
compiler can easily fixed by downloading the 'approved' ver and compiling
that w/ the 'broken' compiler.  Then use the 'fixed' compiler and compile
again and reinstall. Now everything should be compliant.  Someone please
tell me if this is wrong.

	Also, how can a compiler be incompatible w/ a kernel. What does
this mean.  Does this mean that binaries it produces don't run on the
kernel?  Then it truly is broken and you need new rpm to fix unless
there's some other way of bootstrapping.  If the later scenerios are the
case then rh is total crap.  If not, then it's just slightly broken.  Not
that I'm defending _anyone_.  I would just like to get the technical stuff
worked out.  I take all my advocacy arguments to cola.  I like this group
b/c there's little advocacy so I'm learning more instead of getting worked
up.  :)

Fred
