Newer GCC versions are more strict and usually cause build failures for older or untouched code. A list of packages which currently fail with GCC-4.2 can be found at [1], the same list for GCC-4.3 at [2].
To reduce the amount of build failures early and to ease transitions we would like to keep the archive in a state such that it builds with an upcoming GCC release and encourage developers to fix those build failures early. Tests usually can be done with the gcc-snapshot package in unstable and GCC versions found in experimental (currently none).
