All of my gentoo systems have both gcc 3.4 and 4.1 but still
use 3.4 for everything except packages that just won't build
with gcc 3.4.
I'm curious what other people are doing. Have most people
switched over to 4.1 as their "main" compiler?

I did that last May. And not just main but only C compiler (No I don't use
qemu). ;)

I switched completely over to gcc 4.x before it when stable in the tree, it
started producing better binaries for most applications than gcc 3.4
faster just a little before 4.1.0 came out.
I believe there's still at least one package that doesn't build with gcc
4.x (kqemu), so there's some reason to still stay on 3.4 if you are
cautious.

Switched over late last year. Nothing to report that's out of the
ordinary. All servers (4) and the desktop have been totally recompiled
with 4.1.

You mean qemu-softmmu. kqemu has almost always been compilable by gcc4,
and the most recent version of qemu-user seems to allow building by gcc4
(though I am a bit skeptical about the ebuild having gcc-check commented
out and forcing make to not do its gcc version checks).

I installed Gentoo recently and it naturally has only 4.1. No problems, of
course. When I discovered I needed 3.* to compile qemu or any other
emulation I found, I just installed free binaries of VirtualBox. I guess
that is what the absolute majority of newbuys are doing.
