Rawhide _is_ Red Hat. It's unreleased "cutting edge" raw stuff that is
mostly for testing purposes only.

However, I'm pretty sure RH's gcc srpm's will be marked "ExclusiveArch:
i386" because from what I hear, gcc-3.2 doesn't work worth a damn on
other platforms yet. It will build and compile stuff, but the binaries
it produces will be buggy. However, I'm just repeating what I've heard
-- feel free to rebuke me, someone.
