There are currently 22 packages failing in my branch
(home:dimstar:gcc47): libzypp, which causes at least PackageKit to
fail as a result.

For libzypp and friends: It's not clear whether we have a bug in
libzypp or a bug in GCC, might be that the old compiler accepts
invalid code...

We can always BuildRequire gcc46 and build using CXX="g++-46" etc, so
this is no show stopper.

Michael spend already a couple of days trying to figure out how to
workaround the bug,

Great if this is accepted as a 'solution' in short term...

I hope ;) since it's something we did in the past.

We should make sure though that 'only an accepted list of exceptions'
is allowed to do that, as most packages wre rather simple to fix....
so don't just take this as the even easier way out.

Indeed,
Andreas
