It shouldn't come as a surprise as the patches I submitted for
FSF gcc only went into gcc trunk for gcc 4.4 and later...

Considering that gcc 4.2.x is currently depreciated and
unmaintained by upstream, it is rather pointless to keep
it when gcc44 works as well across all architectures.
The only reason Apple is stuck at 4.2.1 is because of
the GPLv3 licensing issues.
