Certainly for C++, the header cleanup makes it almost certain that
there will be a few -- generally (always?) trivial to fix --
compilation errors from missing #includes.

You may find these documents useful:

http://gcc.gnu.org/gcc-4.4/porting_to.html

"The GCC [4] release series differs from previous GCC releases in more
than the usual list of new features. Some of these changes are a
result of bug fixing, and some old behaviors have been intentionally
changed in order to support new standards, or relaxed in
standards-conforming ways to facilitate compilation or runtime
performance. Some of these changes are not visible to the naked eye,
and will not cause problems when updating from older GCC versions.

"However, some of these changes are visible, and can cause grief to
users porting to GCC [4]. This document is an effort to identify major
issues and provide clear solutions in a quick and easily-searched
manner. Additions and suggestions for improvement are welcome."
