Ok. Point taken. But bear in mind that all distros that use gcc4 have gcc3.x packages. Why let arch be different ? If gcc3 is more compatible with certain source, why not just use it ?
DP : I wont paste the buildlog, as the problem og qemu / gcc4 is pretty well known. Googling will give u hundreds of build logs :)
Aaron : No need to be so rude. It was a suggetion, not an order, and i wanted views of the community. And it is NOT easy to compile gcc, on any box. The time it takes...

I have to fully agree with dp here - software that doesn't compile
under gcc4 doesn't compile because it is more strict with rules - it
did not introduce new rules, it's just picking up things these coders
have done wrong for some time.

Why? What would warrant this? YOUR need? The voting process is there
for exactly this reason - if it's really that important that
gcc-compat is needed, then it will get voted for. As it stands now,
you're saying "I really need it, so that warrants having someone else
maintain it so I can just pacman -S gcc-compat". If you need it, just
use abs.... it's really not that hard.
