This is the right place.

The OpenCSW GCC needs to be upgraded.  Unfortunately, the maintainer
of the GCC package has retired from the project, and the upgrade is
not an easy rebuild.  There are dependencies of GCC that also need
rebuilding, so GCC upgrade is a significant effort.

There was also bit of a discussion on the maintainers mailing list:
http://lists.opencsw.org/pipermail/maintainers/2011-May/014632.html

We would definitely accept a volunteer effort to upgrade this package.
 The build description with partial work towards the 4.5.x line is in
the source code repository:
