It's related to the version of Pyrex and not to that of gcc.

>/usr/bin/pyrexc -I. -o brlapi.auto.c ./brlapi.pyx 
>/home/mlang/src/a11y/brltty/Bindings/Python/./brlapi.pyx:383:3: Warning: 
>Old-style integer for-loop is deprecated, use 'for x < i < y' instead

Interestingly, though, the release notes for Pyrex 0.9.7.1 say the following 
under Modifications:

   Old integer for-loop syntax is no longer deprecated.

So I guess the Debian people are using an intervening Pyrex which contains an 
unpopular change.
