Comment(by pgf):

 i went about installing joyride (2595) just to verify this, since it was
 fixed in 8.2, and i assumed it would still work.

 unfortunately, "yum install gcc" doesn't work -- though i don't think it's
 a headers issue.  or, at least, the install doesn't get that far.

 i'll make the summary more generic.
