For unpatched packages you may use the official mirrors, e.g.

deb-src http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian unstable main contrib non-free

Patched sources for the gcc-3.4 archive are available as 

deb-src http://debian-amd64.alioth.debian.org/gcc-3.4 unstable main contrib non-free

but this address may change soon. If this does not work, you can also
use the official source package and apply the patch yourself. The
patches used by the gcc-3.4 archive are available at

http://debian-amd64.alioth.debian.org/gcc-3.4/patches

as 'diff -u' files which are named PACKAGE_VERSION.patch.
