Has anybody here tried to run any Oracle app -- or any binary-only C++
app that provides shared libraries -- on Red Hat 8.0?  From what I hear
about gcc 3.x, there is a binary incompatibility when you try to mix
shared object libraries from gcc3 with executables from 2.9x or vice
versa.  This wouldn't be Red Hat's fault, as every distribution will
have to deal with this compatibility glitch at some point, if they
haven't done so already.  But it may be a disincentive for many to go to
8.0.
