i'll probably have a look at this, but don't hold your breath ;-) in the

i can confirm that it worked. on my feisty system, rkward compiled flawless 
with gcc-4.1 after commenting out those lines. my attempts, however, to build 
the gcc-4.2 packages were soon to be demotivated, due to an unending tail of 
unmet dependencies... i then decided it was probably fine to live with that 
workaround for feisty, since the next ubuntu release (gutsy) is scheduled for 
october 18th, and it comes with gcc-4.2 -- so this problem would solve itself 
in no time. at least for all who are able and willing to upgrade. if you 
can't, just apply thomas' workaround, and you're fine as well.
