As I said, you really should tell SuSE about the gcc bug. They need to know
about it, and they really should have a public bug tracker.

It would be best to try the gtkmm workaround-patch instead of messing with
your compiler:

This one looks simple enough to apply by hand:
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=gtkmm&m=105334866900343&w=2

Patches are normally applied like so:
patch -p0 < something.patch

But tell SuSE.
