I'm going to assume that this statement was not intended to be rude (it sure 
seems rude to me).  Andreas was simply saying to add the official source 
archive to your sources.list.  Then, after apt-getting the source package, 
check to see if there is a patch available for the gcc-3.4 branch.  If there 
is, then apply that patch before building. 

If you look back a few posts on this list you'll see that all of the source 
packages that duplicated the official debian archives had to be deleted to 
make space during some server maintenance.  

If you "don't want to care" enough to apt-get the source package from the 
official archive and then check to see if there is a patch for gcc-3.4, then 
I hope that the debian-amd64 developers don't care enough to help you.
