So then what you are saying is that, if you update all the packages you have included on the ftp site, any code compiled with the newer gcc 3.3 will continue to work with an otherwise normal 8.2 system?
Not quite. When you compile C++ code with 3.3 release, chances are, that the binary/library won't work on a vanilla 8.2 system. In that case, libgcc.rpm and libstdc++.rpm have to be installed on the system where the binary/library won't run.
Also those things presently compiled with the pre-release gcc 3.3 will continue to work with all the updated files, as the new gcc is downwards compatible.
