I thought that newer compilers ought to better than the older ones (latest and greatest); I wanted to know if these older compilers are widely used and therefore people having mistrust for newer stuff; I assumed all packages in debian had to be recompiled with either version 4.0 or 3.4. I don't dislike these compilers and want to know from those with experience (which I lack) what's their views.
