You might want to compare your problems with the CRAN checks at

http://cran.r-project.org/web/checks/check_summary.html

as those are run with gcc 4.3.x on Debian testing. From memory, the problems are confined to C++-(mis)using packages.

With Lenny, build-essentials depends on 4.3, so I'd like
to leave it installed but have also installed 4.2.1. How do I tell
./configure the path to 4.2.1 ? I"m sure it's an option, but I don't
see it documented in the R-admin manual.

From configure --help:

  CC          C compiler command
  CFLAGS      C compiler flags

There are many examples of setting CC in the R-admin manual, and the first para of 'Essential Programs' seems to me to tell you that as well.
