If nobody else feels up to it, I could probably build and repackage
the GCC 4.3.3 Optional Package with the recent locale search path and
wchar changes in place.  I might not be able to get around to that
until the end of the weekend or early next week though.  I haven't
done a full GCC4 build of any sort in over a month, but I think I
remember all of the little tricks to have it go smoothly (basically
dealing with PCH and compare issues).

If nobody gets to it before me, I may submit a ticket/patch later
tonight or tomorrow to get the buildtools all up to date with the
aforementioned changes as well.  I realize Oliver may want to do that
himself though, but if he doesn't get to it, I'll submit a ticket when
I have that all ready on my end.

PS: I could probably do GCC2 as well, but I admit I have no experience
building it.
