RH7 Compiler thing

[Guilderson, Tom W.]

RedHat 7.0 shipped with a snapshot version of glibc and gcc/egcs which
causes the binaries built on a RedHat 7.0 system to be incompatible with
most other versions of Linux. The issue is as much a glibc issue as a
compiler issue. They have also shipped kgcc which is the older 2.91.66
version of gcc for compiling kernels, but the glibc version is still a
problem. For personal use, RH7 has a lot of new features worth loooking at,
but for a development system some consider it broken.
