Not specifically related to the original question about PHP 5.5, but one 
thing I just stumbled on in trying to use the SL7 softwarecollections 
repo...

Eclipse, or some of the required Java classes/tools seem to be broken, 
when you install devtoolset-3 via the SL7 repo.  It throws Java errors 
about missing class files and the GUI never launches.  (I can send you 
the generated log file offline, if you're interested.)

If I autoremove all of those packages (as well as the 
yum-conf-softwarecollections package that contains the repo file), and 
install the equivalent from softwarecollections.org, I don't get this 
problem.  So, either the SL7 repo is out of date, or something broke in 
the rebuild from source.

I have my work-around, so no rush on this, but it would be good to get 
this fixed for those using the SL7 repos.

Thanks,
Gilbert
