Release     : 0.16.fc17

Description :
The gcc package contains the GNU Compiler Collection version 4.7.
You'll need this package in order to compile C code.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Update Information:

This update fixes an ABI issue in libstdc++ (in addition to normal set of bugfixes), anything that uses
vtable for std::num_get<char, std::istreambuf_iterator<char, std::char_traits<char> > >
and
vtable for std::num_get<wchar_t, std::istreambuf_iterator<wchar_t, std::char_traits<wchar_t> > >
(or even just offsets within it, i.e. calls any num_get->do_get methods (e.g. all inlined std::num_get::get methods do)) needs to be mass rebuilt.
See
http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2012-02/msg01219.html
for details.  Without this, we'll be ABI incompatible with both GCC 4.6 and the final GCC 4.7 when it is released next month.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This update can be installed with the "yum" update program.  Use 
su -c 'yum update gcc' at the command line.
