I just tested to recompile some packages and they can't be compiled with newer compiler, and I'm struggling what is problem. There are also packages I haven't wrote and I have no idea are they using inlines, or are there some libraries using inlines.

Good question, I updated first post. Shortly: a) some applications need it. b) It *may* be 'better'.

I'm just solving this locally, and I'm planning to push them to the extras-devel:
make3.81 (extras-devel)
bison-2.4 (extras-devel)
binutils-2.22 (I have locally working, and maybe could be omitted)
-> gcc-4.6 can be compiled and it 'sometimes works' (as I wrote earlier).

We might need new libc6 for really using new compiler. Seems it can compile some packages, but not all. (But maybe there are no need for compile all?)
