QEMU requires gcc-3.4 at runtime because it emulates 5 different CPUs
by translating the machine code into C, compiling the C fragments and
editing the assembler output to trim off function call/return
sequences. This makes it the fastest emulator on the planet but it
does not understand gcc-4 assembler output.
This would be a good reason to keep gcc-3.4 in Debian unless there is
progress upstream, since QEMU is often used in Debian development
itself.
