If possible I'd rather have David Brown's gcc changes[0] in along with
this, once he's done testing them and if Arwed approves. ;)

If those changes are a no-go or we'd rather put them into devel
/after/ the current gcc 4.0 goes to test I'm fine with that as well. I
/would/ like some (I'll have one of my chroots do this) testing of a
current gcc 3.4 -> gcc 4.0 system update.

[0] David has been working on allowing all compilers to be installed
alongside each other and outside of /opt. All we'd do to 'set' the
default compiler is change the version in the now-meta-spells gcc and
g++ (these setup the symlinks for whichever version they're setup
for).
