Do you foresee any issues for which we wouldn't want to make gcc 3.x
default for everything ? If we are going to look at going ahead with a
newer gcc(as we should), I think we should go ahead and put forth the
effort to make everything compile cleanly under it. I couldn't see the
actual time required to be more than 3 or 4 days, this including the 
userland.
