Did you build gcc-4.3.1 yourself ?

If yes, did you run 'make check' for it ? There should be some failures,
but most of the tests should pass.

Did you try to compile something simple with that gcc, like
"Hello, world !\n" just to make sure the compiler is "alive" ?

Even though I've built gcc-4.3.1 (I am on IA32 Linux), I am using gcc-4.2.4
for all may work, including octave and all its dependencies.

FWIF, gcc-4.3.1 requires much stricter compliance with C/C++ standards.
