Maybe I was not clear enough, this bug is about the future.
I would like to have 1 year time before I need to upgrade to Jessie.

When a newer compiler is needed, I would like to hear about such a
problem. I think it's sometimes possible to backport a compiler. Or we
can study how other distributions like Redhat or Ubuntu are handling
this problem.

I don't think mozilla.debian.net is the right place for security updates
for the next oldstable.

With regards,
Paul van der Vlis.
