Comment(by todmorrison@…):

 Replying to [comment:12 jstrane@…]:
 > Why do people install gcc 4.7 over gcc 4.2? Do they just want some minor
 performance improvements? If I want to get a performance boost by just
 changing a compiler, I would better choose icc or something, not gcc 4.7.
 I think, without those useful and time saving extensions, there is no
 reason to spend a couple of hours in compiling gcc 4.7. It doesn't make
 sense at all spending that much of time to just get some performance
 improvements.


 gfortran support for one.
