gcc 4.4 dropped support for varargs.h in favour of stdarg.h.
The results are compilation headaches. I'd stop at gcc 4.3 for
the time being, on the grounds that it should compile everything
on your system sans changes.

The newer GCCs have bugfixes and performance enhancements, but in
general you shouldn't need to upgrade unless you run into something with
specific issues, or if a package update wants it.
