If the problem is with your installed compiler, there are a number of ways in
which you might work around the problem:
- Build stage1 with optimization enabled: STAGE1_CFLAGS
- Build an interim compiler, say gcc-4.3 and then use that to build gcc-4.4
- Cross build your compiler on another host

As to the question about later versions of GCC, then 4.6 should certainly still
support building for ARMv5.  I would expect 4.7 to still work too, but it
hasn't been tested much in that configuration and the old Linux ABI port has
been marked deprecated.
