Current stable is wheezy, whose default compiler (also used by Debian's own 
build facilities) is gcc 4.7.2. The oldstable distribution is squeeze (which 
has just reached EOL, but see the squeeze LTS project), whose default compiler 
is gcc 4.4.5. Neither is gcc 4.6.x.

I already mentioned we need to support gcc 3.4.x for the moment.
