GCC 4.6.4 is fine. A follow up: I finally built gcc 4.6.0 from a current build but had to patch the heck out of it, but a vanilla 4.6.0 built LFS 7.8 and CLFS git multilib x86_64 fine. So my guess is the distro introduces patches or something else into the vanilla source code to cause issues, but of course since your target was ARMv7 or such, could be something in that. We shouldn't have many people using distros with such an old GCC version, but if they do, maybe they will find this post in the archive. Since the current LFS development book has GCC 4.7 in the host requirements, probably won't surface, and I wanted to provide my test results with the community. For i386 and amd64 it all seems fine to use GCC 4.6.
