Dave,
I've already updated the gcc45 package files in the 10.5 tree to the last
gcc 4.5.4 release and
added patches to fix the build against texinfo 5.1. I also committed a similar
update of gcc44 to the
last 4.4.7 release and texinfo 5.1 patches added. These were tested on x86_64
fink 10.6 but should
work fine on i386 fink 10.6 as well.
