`redir' is simply a utility that juggles the input and output streams,
redirecting them to/from files or each other. The reason the above command is
useful is that it runs `gcc -c xyz.cc', capturing its stderr output to
`errors.txt'. This trick works on anything that uses those output streams;
however, I doubt that RHIDE does at all, so you couldn't capture its output.

However, RHIDE already does capture the output of the processes it runs; this
is how it puts it in a window for you, with all the error messages. So you
don't actually have the problem to which this use of redir is a solution.
