No, probably not. I remember a lot of reports of people being unable
to compile Octave on older versions of Red Hat precisely due to these.

However, the error you pointed out earlier is a little baffling. I
can't imagine what the Fortran version could have to do with a C++
error. I actually think 3.4.3 had some bugs that *didn't* compile in
g++ 4.6.2, because we were relying on slightly buggy behaviour of g++
4.5.

I'm going by memory here, so this could all be wrong. But I think
3.4.3 will compile on g++ 4.2 - 4.5.
