It's a bit stricter, but not a lot. Almost all spells working with gcc
4.0 work with gcc 4.1 and for spell that failed, we used to patch them.
Anyway we never had the choice because, iirc, the possibility to use
GCC_VERSION=4.0 has simply never been implemented. 
Moreover now that gcc 4.1 is the default on most distributions, the
maintainers of 'active' softwares fixed their sources. 
But of course a full sorcery rebuild would be better test than just "it
works for me". ;-)
