I'm at home with flu , so to do something I decided to run my usual sbopkg queue (177 packages) with the gcc 4.4.2 in testing on a freshly installed slackware64-current virtual machine
Hope this can be useful at least for other people willing to use 4.4.2 (and for slackbuilds.org's people too).
installed yasm from extras (for x264).

1.0.7 is unavailable like dirac and I wasn't able to find an official download spot, so I took my own route and used alien's 1.0.8 from vlc build with relative patch. this is the slackbuild I used

Do you want to use the downloaded lighttpd source:
lighttpd-1.4.23.tar.gz in /var/cache/sbopkg?
You can choose among the following options:
- (Y)es, keep the source and continue the build process;
- (N)o, delete the source and abort the build process; or
- (R)etry download and continue the build process.
Your choice?
Y

But the later ones should fail building with earlier GCC versions as well, at least to a great extend.
