Actually, the most recent patch is for 4.3, which is why I’ve packaged gcc-4.3:

I took the GCC diff from https://github.com/hebisch/gpc.git, which is
the main author’s repository. I almost got GPC to build, but it fails
some time during stage 2 or so IIRC. The error did not seem to be a
problem with GPC itself, but with how we do things in Guix.
I don’t have my branch in order right now, but if you’re interested I
could share a bit more of my work.
(I started this only because I also wanted to package Hedgewars.)
