I like to have only the latest versions of software installed here. For me, it doesn't make sense to use gcc3 only to be able to compile qemu, since I'll not use it on any other software. Well, to be honest, I think that qemu author should have migrated to gcc4. I can't understand why someone still uses gcc3 for development. I mean, the author could take a weekend and fix all the code to compile with gcc4. Is it so hard? I think it's the natural order of things. I think it's easier for the qemu author to port his code to gcc4 instead of forcing the entire world to install an obsolete compiler like gcc3 just to compile his code. We should get rid of old things, as fast as possible. Gcc3 has no future, so why keep using it? Besides that, gcc4 offers a lot of options that gcc3 doesn't. It's faster, I can use its vectorizer and optimizes better the code. If it takes too long, we'll have gcc 4.3 and qemu will be still requiring gcc3. Don't you think it's absurd?
