I was thinking about this.  I think this might be a good idea to switch WANT_GCC41 to NO_GCC41.

I think we shouldn't be too conservative about this.  Gcc 4.1.1 has a buch of fixes which did not go to gcc 3.4.  All major linux dists have switched to gcc 4.1.1, and seems other BSDs are going gcc 4.1 as well.

I personally would wait for gcc 4.2 to stabilize to 4.2.1 before switching to the 4.2 series.  This has already happened for 4.1.1, so I think it is safe to use.
