I believe this is a known sbcl-with-gcc4 issue (gcc4 is correct in
complaining about those lines). A patch which fixes the issue for you
would be welcome.

I can't comment on packages vs. tarballs, but I'm happy for now to
build sbcl binaries from time to time (though not necessarily every
month -- I don't believe that that's necessary, given that building
sbcl, even for users, should be straightforward.)

Coincidentally (and it has to be coincidence, given how long it takes
for my machine to build SBCL :-) I've just uploaded a binary of SBCL
for SPARC/SunOS. Not that I'm using it, but it still builds for me
when I don't change anything on the machine in question.
Cheers,
Christophe
