Allow me to disagree. gcc 4.0.0, according the debian/changelog file, dates
from late 2004. That is jurassic.

Is there any chance you can update?

We were at times tempted to freeze our requirement for gcc/g++ 4.3, 4.4 or
later.  Romain's move to OS X as a platform put and end to it. He has a 4.2.*
something version there. Please consider upgrading too.

Pleasure!

Cheers, Dirk
