The package will only break when you recompile it with gcc4.  So, for
xmms, it was last updated _before_ gcc4 was made the default compiler
for Fedora.  Therefore, if the maintainer were to rebuild it now, since
that gcc4 change, it would break and the maintainer would be forced to
update the package before it could get into rawhide.
