Why not use newer GCC 4.3.2 and Binutils 2.19.50 in RosBE, they seems to work well with only a few changes in ReactOS sources.
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).
