The problem is, I don't think that's the order of difficulty. GCC should be easy; in practice, there will be a few bugs in GCC or the compiled programs that will be discovered, but most of the major C++ difficulties are in the past. X is so old that most of the compatibility issues are in the past, but the massive rearrangements it has gone through have been unsettling. But GNOME and KDE have such large dependencies that any changes to them can force a huge number of programs on the system to recompile and link to new versions of the libraries.
