Hi all -

I know someone else mentioned this briefly WRT to Tumbleweed, but I'd
like to bring up for discussion the adoption of gcc 4.6 for Factory.

<snipped a lot of good stuff about why a kernel compile with gcc 4.6
is a good thing>

Jeff,

I don't have factory running anywhere, but I thought gcc 4.6 was in
factory now, but not as default.

You have to invoke it as gcc46 was my understanding.

Would updating the specfile to use gcc46 instead of gcc be feasible
until the default gcc is updated?

Yeah, that'd be pretty easy. The hard part comes in when you want to
build KMPs against that kernel since they won't be using the same
compiler version unless they're *also* modified to use CC=gcc-4.6
