We have a large multi-platform (Linux(primary), Windows (secondary)  and OS/X (experimental) C++ project.   The Linux team uses gcc41.   gcc40 is used for building under OS/X.  We would like to simplify things by normalizing compiler versions.    (That is, we'd like to get rid of some the conditional compile stuff required because of compiler differences.)

There are tickets about these problems in the issue tracker, but they may not get fixed. These are very old versions of gcc. Is there a specific reason you want gcc41 and can't use e.g. gcc44?
