You've got it wrong. It is the other way around.

There is a bug in gcc 3.0.4 that breaks aRts. (some distro's has a hack to 
circumvent the problem).
The bug is fixed in gcc 3.1. The only know problem with gcc 3.1 is with 
netscape plugins.

In other words. The only recommended compilers for KDE are gcc 2.95, 2.96 and 
3.1-series.
