I asked the same question just a few weeks ago. :)
gcc-3.4 began, and still is, an experimental branch of pure64 using a later
version of gcc. It began by using gcc-3.4 for building itself, hence its
name, and is now almost completely converted over to gcc-4.0. As I
understand it, it will always remain an experimental branch and at some point
in the distant future, when pure64 upgrades to gcc-4.0, will simply go away.
For starting out with AMD64, you should stick with pure64 (now called
debian-pure64 on alioth).
