Actually, what I was trying to imply is that reverting to a pre-45 test
release is not a good idea at all.  Try to find the reason for your
problem while -45 is running.  Let's go forward, not backward, please.
I have successfully built and run vim 7.2.148-1 as well as
OpenSSL-1.0.0-beta1 under 1.7.0-45, and I have built and run several
test applications in the meantime.  We all know there are still bugs
in the code, right?  But reverting to an old release doesn't help us
at all.  If you really find a bug in -45 which is the culprit for
not being able to build gcc, you'll get a bugfixed -46 ASAP.  However,
what I'd need in this case is some sort of reproducible testcase...
