Just an FYI -- many groups will ask you to recompile a binary before they will
help you with bugs if they discover the item was compiled with pgcc. pgcc has
been known to improperly compile code or break assumptions some code makes.
SuSE for example will not touch things compiled with pgcc, or so I am told by
several of their key programmers.
