For gcc we really only support v4.x due to the atomic stuff (the alternative 
code is not well maintained). I've personally made changes for ICC support, and 
Theo supports the SunCC.

 I do however believe it's only reasonable to expect developers to support gcc 
in general, and follow C/C++ standards as much as possible. We should avoid 
making the code depend on very unique or specific gcc features unless 
necessary, but compiling with gcc should be adequate IMO.
