Ubuntu probably offers other repositories than the default, containing newer packages (in debian these are known as "testing", "unstable", and "experimental", but I think Ubuntu uses different names). But the repos are associated with Ubuntu, not with the gcc project (which generally only releases source code). I do not know the details of how to add additional repositories in synaptic, or where the specific Ubuntu repos are located. You should probably ask on an Ubuntu-related mailing-list/forum. -Miles -- The key to happiness is having dreams. [from a fortune cookie]
