bottom line: when I switched to gcc-4.1.1 half a year ago or so, nothing broke 
except a few packages would not compile. At no point whatsoever did anything 
spontaneously *Stop Working*.

I'm not even sure about that 'binary abi incompatibility' that you are talking 
about, I've never heard of it. gcc-4.x is just a radical redesign of some of the 
internals of the compiler, but not the ABI
