You loose integration with the gcc, since you will have two versions of gcc
installed on the box. That could cause a lot of trouble with maintenance
and 3-rd party libraries. In some extreme cases you would not be able to
run the executable obtained without adjusting loader settings (e.g. setting
LD_LlIBRARY_PATH for the executable).You would also loose some hot bug
fixes.
