parsing

I want to understand the relation between LL/LR grammars and the left-recursion problem (for any question I know parcially the answer, but I ask them as I don't know nothing, because I am a little confused now, and prefer complete answers) I'm happy with sintetized or short and direct answers (or just links solving it unambiguously):

What type of language isn't LL(8) languages?
LL(K) and LL(8) have problems with left-recursion? Or only LL(k) parsers?
LALR(1) parser have troubles with left or right recursion? What type of troubles?
Only in terms of the LL/LALR comparision. What is better, Bison (LALR(1)) or Boost.Spirit (LL(8))? (Let's suppose other features of them are irrelevant in this question)
Why GCC use a (hand-made) LL(8) parser? Only for the "handling-error" problem?
