Turns out that gcc-4.3 is compatible with CUDA-2.3 as well. Actually,
nvcc has an option to tell it which compiler it should use. I have had
luck with adjusting arch/Linux-x86_64.cuda. This line does the trick:
CUDACC=$(CUDADIR)/bin/nvcc --compiler-bindir=/usr/bin/gcc-4.3.4 -O3
--maxrreg count 32 -arch sm_11 -Xcompiler "-m64" $(CUDA)
