I have exactly the same problem, using aptitude.
The required version of libgcc1 is in Experimental, along with the
rest of gcc 4.0.

I get this:
[/home/pjr]# apt-get install libgcc1
Reading Package Lists... Done

libgcc1 is already the newest version.
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 11 not upgraded.
apt-utils is also marked as broken by aptitude because of the same
broekn dependency.
Holding apt and apt-utils at their current version ought to allow you
to upgrade other packages. Alternatively, do nothing until the
problem is resolved.
I don't believe apt is intended to depend on libgcc1 4.0 while 3.3 is
still the default for Sid. It looks like an error in specifying the
correct dependencies for the packages. If so I'd expect it to be
fixed pretty soon.
