Well, we want to upgrade to newer GCC versions for some time now, but one
long-time blocker was PSEH if I recall correctly.

If the current tree really builds 100% with GCC 4.3.2 or you (or someone
else) could provide patches for getting it to work, the update should be
done as soon as possible (but after 0.3.7 :P)
Being unable to build older revs is really not an argument here, we also
didn't pay attention to this when we did the last upgrade from 3.4.5 to
4.1.3. Besides, I just needed to save the "3.4.5" directory from RosBE 0.3.4
and I can simply integrate it into newer RosBE versions.

But why shall we switch to a newer binutils version right now?
2.19.x versions are still snapshots from what I know and I don't expect
drastic changes anyway (compared to GCC).

Best regards,
