Replacing gcc 4.5 as the default Linux compiler?

[Ryan VanderMeulen]

For 4 months now, we've been dealing with intermittent segfaults in gcc 
during compilation, most often in IonBuilder.cpp. We've been tracking 
these failures in bug 820796. Given that this is pointing to a compiler 
bug, it seems unlikely that we're going to get much traction with fixing 
this on our side. So, what would it take for us to look into other Linux 
compiler options? It seems we're a few gcc versions behind at this 
point, so maybe upgrading to a newer version? What about clang?
