I was wondering whether to do one last issue of 3.4.4, and set program
suffix to "-3", then we can use alternatives to control them.

Added to the to-do list. Do you have a pointer to how to do it?

I'm testing building a dll version right now (along with libgomp, libjava,
libgfortran, libobjc).

Not as far as I could tell. GPC has some 3.x-compatible versions and a

claims to be 4.0.x compatible.
