Actually, gcc 3.4 works even with glibc 2.1, but fish wouldn't work, since glibc has unicode support (wide char functions) since 2.2. You just need to build gcc 2.95.x first on such ancient systems, before compiling 3.4. I have compiled fish on my debian woody installation (glibc 2.2.5) and it seems, that it only requires 2.2.3.
