[opensource-dev] Not actually OT: How do I get/update gcc to 4.6 on debian squeeze?

Another useful option would be to build and maintain a VM image with the 
complete tool chain installed. It would be great to have as a reference 
and would let people who wanted to cross-compile do it much easier, at 
an obvious cost of VM overhead.  Pity Windows and OSX compilers couldn't 
be VM-ized the same way.
