[CentOS] More than 1 gcc version?

Not necessarily... gcc 2.9x LOVES my code, and the program built 
under it runs like a champ.

gcc 3.4 barfs on this same source code, so I see this as 
"Stoopidly Pedantic" on the part of the compiler-writers.

Things that work and stop working because of a "better compiler"
bring into question the definition of "better".

4.2 ships with a recent vintage GCC 3 and there's an option to include 
GCC4.  If your program won't compile with a very stable GCC3, then you 
might want to fix the broken software rather than install an obsolete 
development environment, no?

Cheers,
