gcc4 is there for Fedora Core 3 already... A 2.6.<something> kernel compiled with it didn't boot, no much more tried here.

Announcing Fedora Core 4 test1

Er, Horst, you know as well as I do that kernels are the last thing one should test the functioning of GCC with :) they depend on sufficiently many non-portable compiler-version-specific things that failures to work might very well be the kernel's fault, not the compiler's.

A lot of other stuff works for me here; I've not built a whole distro with it, but a good few hundred packages (X is core dumping but I think that's due to a broken local patch).
