I thought the minimum compiler requirements for the bootstrap compiler
where very limited.
Isn't it even backwards compatible for one version? (ie. you can use
version X
to build X-1, then X-1 to build X-2...)

As for the actual problem of getting a 3.4 gcc, you may have better luck
making
the binary from some archive like
http://ge.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/universe/g/gcc-3.4/
to work.
