Problems with GCC 4 were noted at least at one point in the past...

   https://trac.ccs.neu.edu/trac/larceny/changeset/2467

However, as noted there, the dislike of GCC 4 was due to poor memory  
performance on the C code generated by Petit Larceny (especially that  
for the reader, if my memory serves).

It sounds like the problems with gcc 4+ that you two are alluding to  
are of a different flavor?
