No, you should build using CC=gcc-4.2 and CXX=g++-4.2. ABIs may differ
for different GCC releases, so changing this may lead to broken packages
when rebuilt.

No. If you are aware of problems please file specific bug reports. A
prerelease of a version from a stable branch is usually even more
tested.
