cool, Vince any CPU cycles left for gcc builds? ;-)

in fact, gcc-3.4 could be moved to testing without the m68k build. on
hppa and m68k the libgcc1 is built from the 3.3 sources. So once the
arm 3.4 build currently in queue/new gets in, 3.3 and 3.4 can go to
testing. I didn't see any bug reports associated with the new libgcc1.
