The GCC developer community does not offer support in such a sense. A proper contact would be a re-distributor which can offer you support contracts like for example the major Linux vendors. Note that 4.3.0 is no longer supported by the GCC developer community but you will be asked to reproduce an issue with GCC version 4.3.3 which is the current bugfix release of the GCC 4.3 series. The GCC 4.3 series will be likely end-of-lifed at the point when GCC 4.5.0 is released. Richard.
