As far as I know, there's no new problems using 4.1 instead of 4.0.  See
http://lists.parisc-linux.org/pipermail/parisc-linux/2006-April/028894.html
and test results for a gcc 4.2.0 build using this glibc build

True.

No.  It's not affected because it doesn't support complex types.

I have one libffi fix that's not yet in 4.2.0 that fixes the remaining
Java testsuite failures.  I haven't tested a backport to 4.1.
