This *was* true at one time, RedHat 7.0 had the gcc/kgcc difference.
RedHat 7.1 does behave in this way. The shipping gcc builds the kernel
just fine thanks.
Before you bash, keep up. It was a slight deficiency at one point,
easily abated. Come on, how many times does one need to hear, "to build
the kernel, use kgcc"?
