The general idea has been to migrate all of the fink
packages to the newer gcc4X release as soon as possible
so folks install fresh installations of fink don't have
to compile two gcc4X packages. The gcc44-4.3.999-20090327
package was a pre-release of gcc44-4.4.0-1000 for the
benefit of x86_64 fi
gcc 4.4 dropped support for varargs.h in favour of stdarg.h.
The results are compilation headaches. I'd stop at gcc 4.3 for
the time being, on the grounds that it should compile everything
on your system sans changes.

The newer GCCs have bugfixes and performance enhanceme
Hi,
currently I have GCC 4.2.3 installed via Fink (unstable tree, OS
10.5.6/Intel; additionaly I have 4.2.1 from Apple's Xcode). However, there
are more recent versions, GCC 4.3.3 and GCC 4.3.999; apparently a GCC
4.4.0 pre-release that might be updated to GCC 4.4.0 soon, see
