As to why they weren't removed when you unmerged gcc-3.4.5, I've
no idea, but gcc-config -l will list whatever is in this directory:
/etc/env.d/gcc
Except the file 'config', which holds the default value.
Now, if you _really_ don't want to see them, remove them manually
_at your own risk_.
I doubt anything will break, but if I'm wrong someone will correct
me and you may get a better answer.
I hope I'm wrong :D
