I had the very same problem, what I did was a distro upgrade, changed my 
/etc/apt/source.list to:

deb http://archive.debian.org/debian etch main

then

apt-get update
apt-get dist-upgrade

Now I'm running gcc version 4.1.2 with Etch. I don't know if this can help 
you... Maybe you can upgrade to 4.3 from there!

Cheers,

Daniel
