Note: Jakub Jelinek did a full Fedora Rawhide rebuild using prerelease gcc 4.3 back in January 2008, looking for compiler bugs, source changes needed due to stricter C++ and/or bits rearranged in header files, and resultant packaging changes.

Of those failures, 4 were GCC internal compiler errors, which he filed bugs in gcc's tracker and noted the bugs in his report.
