Sorry this has taken so long, but I got it done this morning....

I've published the sources for our backport and the debian packages from 
it that we install on our build hosts:

https://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/Debian_GCC_Backport

and I put a pointer to that page in the Linux compilation instructions.

I would certainly welcome any improvements to that page anyone would 
like to make.  Alas, I don't have the time to do them myself.
