We do have some gcc 3.x patches lying around somewhere, but I don't
think that's something we want to inflict on others ;-)

The first toolchain we ever released to the outside was based on gcc
4.0.2, so it is "ancient" in the sense that it has lots of
avr32-specific bugs that later toolchains don't have. I agree that we
should still try to support it as long as possible.

Still stuck in legal hell, I think.
