-1 from me IMHO I would like it to see them stay in extra For example : imlib which has errors compiling with gcc-4.4.0 compiles fine with gcc-3.4

Every normal package can be fixed to compile with the latest gcc, the right way is always to do that, not to stick to legacy compilers (besides, imlib must have built with 4.3.0, so the issue must be a minor non-standard-compliance in the code).

qemu was an exception because its code generators relied on the way gcc3 generated the code. About virtualbox, it probably suffers from similar problems. But those are special cases - imlib is certainly no reason to keep a legacy compiler.
