I know they're buggy, but I've been using that version (and it's not
vanilla, it's patched) for quite some time to build MPlayer packages and
there haven't been any ICEs or crashes. I'm not saying there won't be any
problems, I'm just saying that so far it's been working and it's an easy
way to install a newer compiler on RH7.3 without tediously building from
source.
