Some work though.  In fact, most of them work if you rebuid them from
SRPMs.  Case in point, I solved the issue of somehow dated YDL GCC
(pretty bad at generating Altivec code) as follows:

[bruda@Titi ~]% gcc --version
gcc (GCC) 3.3.2 20040119 (Red Hat Linux 3.3.2-8)

[bruda@Titi ~]% rpm -qa | grep gcc | grep -v compat
gcc-3.3.2-8
libgcc-3.3.2-8
gcc-c++-3.3.2-8

All of these come from the Fedora repository.
