We support FC3 with our compilers, as well as more conservative and
better supported distros like RHEL and SLES. Lots of our customers are
very willing to run bleeding-edge stuff; commercial folks like
MSC.Nastran are conservative themselves and have conservative
customers.

It actually costs us a fair bit to support FC3 and SUSE 9.3; we are
highly gcc compatible, so we have to be able to parse whatever's in
gcc's include files. gcc-3.4 has lots of new builtins and other
features.
