The thing is that a binary built on Redhat-7 works on 8, 9 and the Fedora Cores (if those don't have their play-with-the-VM-map day). By bumping it up you lose the ability to crosscompile for Rh-7 and its derivates (RH enterprise Linux, whitebox) which are in wide use in production environments. Of course Redhat-7 had that "interesting" gcc-2.96 which I don't want either so overall I'm happy with a RH-8 base. > A lot of people use rh-9 (OVERRIDE_LINUX_BASE_PORT=rh9 in make.conf), > but the port has some flaws and Trevor doesn't react. RH9/FC1 (same thing) sucks for the crosscompiler because the linker is dead slow. Linking a big C++ library is several times slower than RH7 or FC2, last time I looked (not properly benchmarked). I also bet 45 cookies that moving past RH-9 breaks things for other distributions. > I think I will > claim a maintainer timeout soon (perhaps at the weekend if I get time) > and fix some things (runtime linker path if you want to use the X11 > libs).

Then of course RH8 is among Linuxers known as the worst RH ever, so what do I know?
