Let's remember that the entire toolchain is important here, and not
just the compiler. Some of the problems can be attributed to our old
binutils.

How did you obtain "gcc4-errors"?
We're not alone here: some major GNU/Linux distributions, NetBSD, and
DragonFlyBSD are using newer versions of binutils and/or gcc, so we
can look at their patches and error logs to fix some problems.
