[poky] GCC-4.6.0 not ready for prime time?

I'm not convinced switching to GCC-4.6.0 is a good choice at this time.
Not only did I have problems getting a working kernel, there are a
lot of applications that don't build with this new compiler. Some
of those that do, don't work :-(
I have a local recipe to build Mozilla FireFox which has been working
fine, but with GCC-4.6.0, it no longer runs correctly. Given the magnitude
of FireFox, it may take me a while to figure out why.
Even some core programs no longer build, e.g. web-webkit (I was looking
for an alternate web browser). This was probably not obvious as it is
no longer being built by your test images (it used to be included in
core-image-sato but was dropped by 9d7aa1090c407ac0da6154c481f1c787fd7efbfc)
I guess I'll be sticking with GCC-4.5.x for now
