Another thing, too, and I don't know if this is the case with Fedora,
but a binary distribution isn't necessarily all compiled with the
installed compiler.  It probably ought to be, but it doesn't have to
be.

A few adventurous individuals (not I) have been using gcc4 to build
~amd64 stuff and there are still some packages that give trouble.
