i want to downgrade GCC and G++ 4.7.2 to some older versions, 4.0 perhaps. Any assistance? I'm using Lubuntu ATM.

I don't know why BlueBaron might want to do that, but I would do that if I had an important codebase that had been compiled with GCC 4.0 and subject to a lot of testing. On a previous job, I versioned the GCC toolchain. If we checked out a baseline from six months ago, its makefiles would point to the compiler which was used six months ago.– KazMay 3, 2013 at 22:33

There are good reasons not to use the latest, shiniest release of GCC, such as that it's a fast moving target with poor QA.– KazMay 3, 2013 at 22:36
