There's an existing LSARC case (2008/776 GNU Developer Collection) that 
looks like it may deliver GCC 4.3.2, but don't hold me to it as that is 
not my case and the case has some contention at the moment.  I don't 
know the project team's schedule for integration, either, but I've cc'd 
the case submitter.

You may also want to take a look at 
http://pkgbuild.sourceforge.net/spec-files-extra/ if you haven't already. 

Blastwave's GCC is at 4.0.2, so that's probably not going to help.

Good luck.
