why not? I've tried to move all my environment to 4.3 but it had broken alloca()
and a lot of unusable optimizations enabled by -O3, mainly ssa tree related,
I've reported some to gcc bugzilla

4.4 suffered by the same problems, at least early releases I've tested

4.5 from trunk after a while fixed alloca() and some of problems with tree opts
but e.g. ffmpeg test suite was still failing.

I've tested some 4.6 from trunk but not yet enough usable

I've switched at least three times my env to new gcc but I had to recompile back
all packages because of executables unstability.

I really don't known why no other one noticed high instability with mingw compilers,
but I suspect not so much people is trying to compile ffmpeg and mplayer with specific
cpu optimizations. Compiling ffmpeg and mplayer is always a stress for a compiler.

It's enough as answer? :D
