libgcc2 and libgcc4 are missing. But I don't like it. Why stop at
libgcc/libgomp, and not at libstdc++ and libgfortran? For now, I'll add an
unconditional break on gcc-4.1 and gcc-4.3 in libgcc1, which should make people
aware of the breakage.

Maybe it would be better to backport the multiarch patches to gcc-4.3; while
removed in unstable now, the GPC frontend was updated to build for 4.3 instead
of 4.1, so a multiarch enabled gcc-4.3 in unstable would make sense.
