Personally, I'm running gcc 3.0.3 with a gnome system. I've been able to 
fix every bug that I've come across.

Which to date are with:
netkit-telnet (needed more includes added)
pwdb (needed it's static library moved)
nautilus (needed std:: stuff in the mozilla section)
xfree86-4.2.0 (needed -lstdc++ added to glxinfo)
mesa-glu (needed a quicksort.cc (function prototype changed)

I think that's it so far. I'm trying to make patches for everything I've 
come across and 1 by 1 add them to bugzilla.
