just tested again with current git and it worked with every gcc version I had at hand here: 4.2.2, 4.1.2, 4.0.4 and 3.4.6.
And what did you test there? As far as I understood the issue, it's not that Wine won't work at all (at least for most of those gcc versions). Those gcc version will only emit much more code that modern copy protection schemes (Safe Disc, Secu Rom) with statistical code analysis will see as possible attempts to counterfeit them and consequently prevent starting applications protected by them.
As long as you do not want to run copy protected applications under Wine most of those gcc versions should just work fine.
