Ok, so far so good. This is one of these situations where you recognize that 
you never stop learning ;) The situation with quite a lot distributions out 
there is the following: either they use an old version (pre 0.9.0) which does 
somehow compile with gcc4, or they compile it with gcc3, or they use a 
cvs-version.
After all I couldn't find one usable gcc4 patch on the net, so I guess, if 
using a cvs-snapshot is not acceptable (we could for example refer to the 
src-package debain uses), we'll probably stuck with the binary :-/.
Sorry guys.
