I don't require gcc4. I have been experimenting with things like this to
improve my FQ.

I did build GCC4 (VERY long compile time BTW). On install:

error: Failed dependencies:
        binutils >= 2.15.94.0.2-2 is needed by gcc-4.0.0-1.1.P4.i686
        gcc = 3.4.3 is needed by (installed)
libtool-1.5.6-4.FC3.2.1.P4.i686
        libgcj.so.5 is needed by (installed) ecj-3.0.1-5.i386
        libgcj.so.5 is needed by (installed)
gettext-devel-0.14.1-12.i386
        libf2c is needed by (installed) compat-gcc-g77-8-3.3.4.2.i386

Most are no problem and I assume that I can rebuild libtool. My concern
is compat-gcc.
