The problem arises in that standards compliance improves over the life of gcc, so that one can easily write standards compliant code that won't compile on a sufficiently early version of gcc. After 4.x, though, there hasn't seemed to be that much change so it's less of a worry. I also looked in to TR1 for gcc and it's mostly there, but you have to change compiler modes. I don't think it is going to work well for ATS. I'm a bit bummed about that.
