Looks like gcc 4.7 will require some major code cleanup. However, today I ran across this response in a forum discussion:
https://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/slackware-14/zoneminder-1-25-0-wont... Perhaps some of the 4.7 problems will be resolved by manually adding unistd.h in the preprocessor includes.
This document explains the changes in gcc 4.7:

Somebody more experienced with compilers could help by translating that information into a wiki how-to of what types of failures to expect, what types of cures will help, and when those cures need to be explicitly defined in the build process.

Good stuff - that's what several of my patches did. I'm no wizard at adjusting what happens after pushing the g++ 'x' button, but hopefully there is a good rabbit trail in the links...
This also shows a lot of promise for help:
