Funny you should say this!  I'm trying to get gcc43 installed just so I
can match what is on the nodes on our RACF farm which are heavily
influenced by ATLAS's needs.  However, I see that the stock
gcc43-4.3.2-7.el5 packages installed.  FWIW, we also rely on Boost and
I've built it (v1.38) with gcc43 and didn't see any problems.  

Thanks,
