Most packages are maintained under Debian unstable, which uses
gcc-3.2, as does the current testing distribution. Practically, if
you have pure C code, gcc-2.95 and 3.2 will work equally well for you;
with C++ code, all of your code, including the system libraries, must
be compiled with the same compiler, and g++ 3.2 is stricter about many
C++ constructs, so you might have issues. Regardless, I'd recommend
using the newer compiler.
