Re: gcc-3.4 to unstable for amd64?



Putting gcc-3.4 in there itself is not a big deal.  Updating gcc such
that "gcc", "g++", and friends call version 3.4 is a little different,
especially for C++.  We also can't necessarily call it good, since some
packages may be hardcoded for specific versions of gcc.
