Also search for "gcc-porting" in b.g.o and guess what: there are many packages that fits this description for gcc, qemu was just a special case since for it it actually took YEARS before upstream released a version that worked with gcc-4, most other packages is often easier to patch (since it is mostly compile-time brokenness related to headers or other "small" fixes) and our awesome toolchain guys helps fixing it up before it hits ~arch.
