Because people claim that pgcc isn't even stable. I wanted to get a
bunch of fundamental code compiled under pgcc & then run it to see if I
could break it.
Eventually, what I plan to do is to allow several different
architectures to be installed on a machine, and to be able to switch
between them (for new processes anyway) with something like a "mount"
command. That way, benchmarking them against each other becomes easy.
People have told me that there are other Linux distributions out there
that already support i586/i686 and so on, but I'm not going to "jump
ship" over a single feature. Red Hat has lots of other advantages, like
a reputation for being very nicely done. :-)

I agree. So far, I've built rpm, pgcc, glibc, XFree, perl, gzip, bzip2,
and a few other less important ones. Once I feel confident that nothing
is going to blow up, I'll start benchmarking them against each other.
