Your "use new versions of gcc even if it is slower" argument doesn't make any _sense_. If the new versions aren't any better, why would you want to use them?

Maybe because older gccs are not maintained, only 3.3.x 3.4.x and 4.0.0.

_Unless_ you have a long life time distribution (aka SLES, RHEL or clones).
