I don't see any problem with the gcc34 spell, the spell clearly states
its only a placeholder.
I do have a problem with getting gcc 4.0.1 into test as it still
generates wrong code for several programs I know of and probably a lot
of programs I don't know of. It would also mean to get an unofficial glibc
snapshot into test, and that's something I'd really prefer not to do.
