This is a great time to rebuild everything. Not only does it assist with
the gcc 4.7 switchover but it also proves that everything builds. And
that turns out to be very useful when bootstrapping new architectures. I
was planning (and still am) to make a formal proposal that Fedora
require a mass rebuild every 2 releases if none is done for incidental
reasons, just to help with ensuring the whole thing does still build.
