Oh no, say it ain't so. They're going to gcc 3.2?

::sigh::

When will RedHat learn that it's really just not okay to use a
compiler that's *not* complete yet...

(Actually, it's probably okay on the only architectures they support,
but the cross-building stuff is horribly broken, so nobody doing
like VxWorks development on RedHat can use the in-tree compiler.)
