I now have gcc 4.8 installed [ check via gcc --version] and still I have different compilation errors when running 'make' from bitmonero folder. Errors received:

Are you sure the command ./gcc --version is correct ?
I just tried sudo apt-get install gcc
and it says I alreay have the latest version.
The bug has been fixed ages ago, try installing gcc-4.8 if gcc-4.7 is unmaintained in your distro.
You may have two versions installed, are you actually using 4.8? Check with ./gcc --version
