Since you're setting yourself up as a proponent of this can you explain why RedHat includes a compiler that doesn't work with the kernel?
Because the kernel is buggy (the specifics of this has been discussed before on this list) and we didn't have time to implement and QA the changes needed in time for the 7.0 release.
Furthermore I was correcting Nathan's statement that this was a "Red Hat thing", not specifically upholding the virtues of using a different compiler for the kernel. That is a completely seperate topic and we've had that taken that conversation as far as it will go already remember? :-)
Finally, if I were to state "fsmlabs are a bunch of pinheads because they did XXX" I would expect you to defend your employer as well if I misrepresented them due to incorrect statements. Right? :-)
