When you are going to claim that a core package is broken to the point of
being unreleasable, it is very important to know what version of the package
is actually affected. It's also pretty bold to claim that gcc is completely
unreleasable when most of the base system in unstable has been rebuilt with
gcc-4.0 and works fine; it seems equally as likely that gcc-4.0 is exposing
a bug in the gtkboard source.

Anyway, your bug is a gtkboard bug, in menu_start_game():

        GtkItemFactoryEntry help_items [3];

 [...]

        for (i=3D0; i<4; i++)
        {
                help_items[i].accelerator =3D NULL;
                help_items[i].callback =3D menu_show_game_doc;
                help_items[i].item_type =3D "";
        }

Yeah, this smashes the stack. Just because it worked with gcc-3.3 doesn't
mean this is a gcc-4.0 bug.
