In general that has been my experience with gcc on gentoo as well; 
there's usually fixes available, most often already found on gentoo's 
bugzilla so I don't have to go far. =:^)

But that still takes time, time I've not seemed to have enough of, 
lately, and that sort of thing's rather low on the priority list when I 
can simply wait until it's about to be unmasked to ~arch as all known 
package issues with the new gcc have been addressed and the maintainer is 
putting out a last-call for developer testers before ~arch gets it, which 
is the stage at which I finally upgraded to gcc 4.8.x.
