But what about oskit? Is it OK to compile fiasco 1.2 with oskit for fiasco1.1?

The Fiasco 1.1. release was almost 3 years ago. On the other hand, your compiler is so new that it has not even been officially released yet. It is not surprising that a bleeding-edge compiler does not build an old piece of software.

If there is no particular reason for you to stick to Fiasco-1.1, I suggest you upgrade to 1.2 or CVS. Or you build 1.1. with gcc-3.x series.
