I would add a number of embedded targets (m68k, i386, sh, mips64orion,
and hppa1.1) which built in gcc 3.2.2 no longer completely compile:

  + PR9255 - m68k-elf and -rtems don't finish build
             Peter Barada posted a fix to combine.c
  + no PR  - sh-coff, -elf, -rtems, and -rtemself fail
             during install trying to make multilib dirs
  + no PR  - i386-elf and i386-rtems don't build without
             a patch
(http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-bugs/2003-02/msg00925.html)
  + no PR  - mips64orion-elf and -rtems fail with -march=mips1 not
compatible
             with the selected ABI message
  + no PR  - hppa1.1-proelf fails to build with message
             during configure of newlib that xgcc doesn't make
executables

Those are just the ones where "it used to build and now it doesn't".
A few targets saw no progress fixing problems and some just saw 
ICE's during bootstrap move around.

I haven't filed PRs on the bottom 4 because I just now have a complete
set of cross build logs to look at.
