Alex,

For Owl 3, do you recommend upgrading GCC to 4.6.1, 4.5.3, or 4.4.6?

FYI, if you build on Owl 3, the only thing you need to upgrade is gcc
itself.  The rest is already recent enough to build John with OpenMP.

For gcc, you may do a build in a user's home dir rather than upgrade
anything on the system globally:
