Every normal package can be fixed to compile with the latest gcc, the 
right way is always to do that, not to stick to legacy compilers 
(besides, imlib must have built with 4.3.0, so the issue must be a minor 
non-standard-compliance in the code).

qemu was an exception because its code generators relied on the way gcc3 
generated the code. About virtualbox, it probably suffers from similar 
problems. But those are special cases - imlib is certainly no reason to 
keep a legacy compiler.
