option 2 has a catch , if? i?don't use? vendor supplied gcc , the warranty

But still i want to use the latest GCC compiler from gnu website because of
lot of improvements and bug fixes .
You need to invest time in seeing if the newer compiler improvements
actually make a difference to your application. Simply using a newer
compiler because it is 'new' is pointless. Most major bug fixes are
backported in vendor compilers (or you can get them backported), so
that should not be a bother. In fact the 'additional patches' you see
are almost always these backported fixes.
