This is one of the more annoying properties of arch: if you compile or
package you run into trouble first, often before the developers of
given software. And it's mostly, but not exclusively, gcc trouble.

Maybe this can help you:
http://gcc.gnu.org/gcc-4.4/porting_to.html
http://gcc.gnu.org/gcc-4.3/porting_to.html

Once you manage to compile a piece of software it's mostly trivial to
package it for AUR. *hinthint*
