PROBLEM: Compiling gcc 3.4.3 fails miserably. I am not a sophisticated developer, just a power user. The most I can do when a package doesn't compile is make some minor changes to header files or install the missing libraries. I read your bug-report instructions, and the giberish about preprocessor files and re-compiling with --save-temps is to me exactly that... giberish. If you need more information than I have provided, send me the commands to run, and I will happily gather the information for you.
