The way I understood it was:

s/needed/would compile with at all

Which might have been OK (i.e., you could have said it was the
kernel's fault), if not for the fact that that particular version of
gcc did not exist in any official release and was obtained through a
nightly snapshot of a development tree.

So I dunno, if the above is true then it seems to be splitting hairs
a bit to say it wasn't a broken gcc.

Not too much of a dig, since I am a Red Hat user myself and the
incident did not compel me to switch.
