I think the idea here is to use FC4 to host building Linux from Scratch.

If so, the other replies I've seen miss the mark, and the question 
should probably be directed to the LFS folk (or you should use Gentoo 
which also seeks to build everything from source but is self-hosting).

I presume that since you're from the Physics Faculty that performance 
might matter. As you're targetting x86 you might look at Intel's icc for 
key components such as glibc, ssl and anything else RH/Fedora builds 
special i686 binaries for.
