The issue with gnupg and GCC 4.3.0 is:
gcc  -march=i686 -pipe -Os -mno-tls-direct-seg-refs -Wall -Wno-pointer-sign  
-s -o 
gpgkeys_hkp gpgkeys_hkp-gpgkeys_hkp.o 
gpgkeys_hkp-ksutil.o  ../util/libcompat.a -lcurl -s -L/usr/lib -L/usr/lib 
-L/usr/lib
gcc  -march=i686 -pipe -Os -mno-tls-direct-seg-refs -Wall -Wno-pointer-sign  
-s -o 
gpgkeys_finger gpgkeys_finger-gpgkeys_finger.o 
gpgkeys_finger-ksutil.o ../util/libutil.a
gpgkeys_curl.c: In function 'main':
gpgkeys_curl.c:304: error: 'typeof' applied to a bit-field
...
make[2]: *** [gpgkeys_curl-gpgkeys_curl.o] Error 1
make[2]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/gnupg-1.4.9/keyserver'

The kernel guys had this problem with gcc 3.3 -> 3.4 in 
http://linux.derkeiler.com/Mailing-Lists/Kernel/2004-07/4738.html:
"In the gcc-3.3 -> gcc-3.4 transition they changed gcc to
explicitly forbid using typeof on bitfields, see gcc
bugzilla #10333. This is not unreasonable, since typeof
and sizeof on bitfields can have strange semantics."

So why is it hitting gnupg now with gcc 4.2 -> 4.3?
