This is because the installer uses the debootstrap package from the gcc-3.3 archive which installs gcc-3.3-base and libstdc++5 and not gcc-3.4-base and libstdc++6. The gcc-3.4 archive has a patched debootstrap which installs gcc-3.4-base and libstdc++6. Maybe the debootstrap in the gcc-3.3 archive could be patched to additionally install gcc-3.4-base and libstdc++6 on amd64? This would not do any harm and it would make it possible to use a single installer for both the gcc-3.3 and the gcc-3.4 archive. Otherwise I would have to make a separate installer for the gcc-3.4 archive. Regards Andreas Jochens
