For the fun of it, I created a cross-compiler based on a developer
snapshot of gcc. It is a successor to 4.3.3, essentially an early
4.4.0. I am aware that versions other than 4.0.3 don't work well.
Interesting, I intended to test this myself at some point, keep in mind
that crashes in rockbox could come from compiler bugs so don't beat
yourself up over them if they make no sense ;)
Also could you run some benchmarks on the codecs to see how it affects
performance?

I went to the wiki to read up on benchmarking, and it had an alleged
link to a set of codecs. However, clicking the link brings up an error
page.
http://home.earthlink.net/~davidegentile/rockbox/codec_pack.zip
doesn't exist.
Also, the Nero link is out of date, but I was able get the Nero codec by
going on to the Nero site. The Microsoft encoder was no problem.
I guess someone will need to hook me up with the test codecs, if we want
to be consistent with previous work. However, I can use any codecs
available if all we want to do is compare gcc 4.0.3 to gcc 4.4.0.
