Bug#440425: Yes, QEMU does need gcc-3.4

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
