Yep, it's the GNU C compiler. RMS's flagship piece that started the Free
Software Foundation and got the whole GNU thing rolling. There are other
ones, egcs is one.
re: what RedHat chose to include on their distribution...
I can't help you with that. I presume they had a reason for not including a
newer version, if it was available. With something as crucial to having a
running system and a buildable kernel, I'd think they'd want to take the
utmost care in selecting a stable version of the C compiler.
