Argh !!
My mistake. The version of the compiler is included in the RH and
Mandrake kernel release, not really the debian.
Anyway, if distribution is pure64, it should be the gcc-3.3.[45].
If it is gcc-3.4 then, it is gcc-3.4.[23] (indeed).
You can try any gcc by installing gcc-3.x (where x is 3 or 4).
