Hi,

as far as I can tell it works mostly. There are some packages which
seem to break:

- - firefox and thunderbird, if I remember correctly
- - chromium (theres an open bug on bgo)
- - hardened-sources: the neccessary gcc-plugins don't work because they
can't find the right symbols because gcc-4.7 is normally compiled with
g++ which mangles the symbols. Don't know how to work around that,
though it seems to be possible to compile gcc-4.7 with gcc - I just
don't know how

For all packages which break it's possible to switch to your old
gcc-version (unless you uninstall it).

WKR
