Yes, I have experience with many versions and I have always reverted back to qt's gcc 4.4 release due to the issues with gdb. I'm trying out the gcc 4.7.0 version from http://sourceforge.net/projects/mingwbuilds/files right now. I'll let you know if I find it lacking, too. I realize there is a distinction between gcc and gdb, but since gdb is included in the distro I thought I'd bring up the issues I've had, seeing that the gdb from the distro might be the gdb included in the Qt SDK.
