You could collect them in one bugreport instead of opening a separate 
one for each.

All of these packages have been built at some point, so it is likely 
they worked with gcc 4.1, 4.2 or 4.3 (unless they are ancient and 
haven't been rebuilt much longer than that). Most of them probably 
worked with 4.3.

Once we have to rebuild these packages, we fix them to compile with the 
current compiler - which is very easy most of the time. If you are 
building our whole repositories, you will probably find those problems 
before we do.
