Okay. Thanks.

I look forward to running our extensive system test on a gcc-4.x-built lmi,
and measuring whether it runs faster for end users than what we've got now,
because of seven years of gcc optimizations. We'll finally be able to build
lmi with a shared libstdc++, which might solve this problem:

That would make me really happy. And this problem:
  http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=20914
causes one of lmi's unit tests to fail; it'd be good to get that fixed.
