I suppose we have the option, as was mentioned here, of simply building an older gcc for our own use - but it would nice nice if the vendor would do that sort of thing. Isn't that why we buy the boxed set every 6 months?
It would be useful if you read the other mails of this thread before answering because in the very beginning I already mentioned the reason why this is not practical: "If SUSE (or any other vendor) started to ship compilers for every variant of broken code floating around in the world they would end up shipping all versions of gcc ever released or even those that were never released." So building yourself is the way to go if you don't want to fix the code. Alternatively unpacking a binary package from an older release should do as well.
