gcc 4.7.2 was installed on builders last week. Unfortunately, it comes with its own set of problems. See bugs 854085, 854103 and 854105. The worst part (which is unfiled at the moment) is that PGO builds OOM on x86. That might require switching to cross-builds for x86. Or if we are lucky, only a more recent binutils. 4.8 is IMHO too young to even consider testing.
