switch back from gcc-3.4 to pure64



hi,

recently, i found the gcc-3.4 branch a little more unstable than usual. the 
last days brought some more problem reports. furthermore gcc-3.4 is updated 
less frequently than the pure64 branch (afaik). therefore i decided to switch 
back from gcc-3.4 to pure64 last week.

if you plan do switch back, too, make /etc/apt/sources.list point to the any 
of the pure64 branch mirrors, do 'apt-get update' and run 
'dpkg --get-selections | grep -w install | \
xargs - -n 20 apt-get install --reinstall -y'

everything will be fine afterwards if and only if you link /lib64 to /lib 
BEFORE, i.e. 'ln -s /lib /lib64'. apparently, the respective packages do not 
yet provide /lib64 in the right way.

luckily this was not too hard to figure out. 
nevertheless i thank you all for your great work on debian and the amd64 port.
pure64 is rock solid in my experience.
