I move we skip 4.1 and go directly to gcc-4.2. It has one feature, which, in 
my opinion, is (going to be) extremely important: OpenMP support.

Most of the computers on sale now use multi-core processors and the ability to 
take advantage of them easily -- with compiler's support -- is rather 
important.

The `-fopenmp' flag is only available in gcc-4.2...
