I'm completely unsure whether to respond "it was stable, he was running a release version of Fedora" or "there's no such thing as stable under Linux".
The insanity is that the Kernel, Fedora and GCC are so badly coordinated that the beta of the compiler breaks the Kernel build (this is not a beta, this is a pre-alpha in a reasonable universe...is the Kernel a critical user of GCC? Apparently not), and a major distro packages that beta version of the compiler.
To borrow a phrase from Reddit: "everybody sucks here" (even Cook, who looks the best of everyone here, seems either oblivious or defeated about how clownshoes it is that released versions of major linux distros can't build the Kernel. The solution of "don't update to release versions" is crap).
(Writing this from a Linux machine, which I will continue using, but also sort of despise).
