Shouldn't sbuild automatically install the latest build-essentials by
itself? It is kind of stupid to have build essentials not sufficiently
new on a buildd and every time some buildd admins forget to upgrade.
It would be a trivial change in sbuild to do this.

No; updating the chroot is the buildd maintainer's job.
This is a good thing; there've been cases where I manually downgraded
specific toolchain packages because of bugs like #327780, and I wouldn't
want sbuild to go ahead and upgrade things like that without my explicit
instruction.
(Of course, that's ignoring the fact that sometimes build-dependencies
pull in new versions of those libraries. Whatever)

I'm not proposing sbuild should upgrade the chroot fully every time. Just
the build-essential package. Having an arch build with a completly
different gcc when all of debian has switched is, well, stupid.
Build-essential has e.g.
Depends: libc6-dev | libc-dev, gcc (>= 4:4.1.1), g++ (>= 4:4.1.1), make, dpkg-dev (>= 1.13.5)
That ensures some minimum versions of the tool-chain but not the
specific versions. If an release arch has no suitable version within
those constrains then there is something seriously wrong.

True.

Right. I guess a patch would be welcome ;-)
