Indeed, it was done with 4.2.

The following code in debian/rules is not working as expected:

    ifneq "$(findstring $(arch), arm-linux-gnu)" ""
    c_compiler   = gcc-4.3
    cxx_compiler = g++-4.3
    else
    c_compiler   = gcc
    cxx_compiler = g++
    endif

Do you know how why?

Sure, as soon as we figure out how to make the code above work, we can try
g++-4.1.  Just one question: will g++-4.1 work together well with gfortran?
