There is a very intimate dependency between the compiler, the kernel,
the C libraries, and all the rest of the packages.

Unless the update comes from Fedora core 4 (which it will not, because
support for it died a long long time ago in a far far away galaxy.

Why not upgrade the whole installation to F13, or better yet, on Nov 2nd,
of this year F14 will be released! Upgrade to F14 and then do yum update
to get the latest compilers.
