I am not sure what you meant the "current".  gcc-4.4.1 is not posted
under 4.10.

However, I always had to build the binary from source  code just in
case something is missing.  See the patches I sent in 2009 for the
tools:
http://www.rtems.com/ml/rtems-users/2009/february/msg00125.html

They might not apply to others' applications, but they are important
for my applications, although it could be time consuming to
apply patches, rebuild  and rebuild.
