Yes, but it links against a different libc version. This *can* make a
difference, especially in tasking. The bootstrapping process can
introduce additional errors, too.
In addition, there were known bugs in the pthreads-based tasking
support which prevents successful conpletation of all ACATS tests.
AFAIK, these problems remain in 3.14p, and only the run-time library
based FSU Threads was ever validated.

There aren't any other FSF releases (besides 3.1 and 3.1.1), so it is
the most stable one. ;-)
