Nah, it should compile fine giving enough patience. A reasonably
uptodate package is on ftp.debian.org mirrors, I just killed the builds
of newer gcc-4.2 versions at the last few instances to save the buildd
CPU cycles for other packages.
I usually compile gcc-4.2 on my Thinkpad when I get around doing it,
it's much faster than the buildd. You still need the Debian patches, of
course.

Right, that's pretty interesting for gcc apparently. I /think/ you
should file a bugzilla bug and then mail your patch to some gcc-patches
mailing list for evaluation, just filing bugs won't make upstream apply
the patches I believe.
