Good to know. Actually I wasn't really asking about Debian builds 
in general; Teoh and I had some exchanges a while back, because I 
had succeeded in building on Ubuntu using gcc-snapshot and he 
wasn't able to replicate my success. So I wanted to check if 
using the upstream gcc 4.8.1 sources worked for him.
