[SM-Discuss] GCC 4.3 not quite ready for primetime

Lots of things don't build. The kernel doesn't build for Christ's sake!
It's definitely not quite ready for the test grimoire as lots of  
spells die. I can't even get through a complete rebuild.
CPIO doesn't build in gcc 4.3
the kernel doesn't build in gcc 4.3

That's like 2 out of 20. So that's like 10% of our spells won't build  
on gcc 4.3. And I haven't even gotten into kde stuff yet.

I know it's the test grimoire, but this is ridiculous. This is fodder  
for the devel grimoire.
Stuff in test is supposed to work for the most part. I suppose you  
could define that 10% of spells failing is not the most part, but when  
you can't even compile a kernel using that gcc, that's pathetic.
