FYI: GCC-4.6 rebuild tests

[Susan Cragin]

GCC-4.6 has more build failures than mine. Here's the info. 
They don't test wine, apparently. It's not on the list. Maybe I can add it, or get it added.

I am actually building my 32bit tree with gcc 4.6.

Also our openSUSE gcc developer is building openSUSE with 4.6 too I think.

I also think Gerald does.

So we have good coverage. :)
