Try using stable GCC instead of 4.3 which is deprecated by now. Reopen if the problem is still there with 4.4 or above.
i tried to upstream it now
this bug will be fixed with the linked patch in a next release (in two weeks or so) http://git.gnome.org/browse/gparted/commit/?id=9b004634ab96059779bd5961960cb88f12b49d49
