A good rule is: test for the compilers which are widely used plus any 
newer versions of those. If in doubt, test for the newer version only.

For gcc, this likely means: test for all versions you mentioned, if you 
have the resources. Testing with gcc 4.0 makes only limited sense for 
now, since the compiler hasn't been released, yet, and probably still 
contains a couple of bugs (unless you want to support gcc development, 
of course).
