Wait... care to explain what the problem is? As far as I can tell,
compat-gcc contains GCC 3.3.<recent> and gcc contains GCC 4. There
shouldn't be any need to ship both GCC 3.4 and 4.0 for ABI reasons; they
are supposed to be compatible, and thus libstdc++ will keep the same
major soversion. (I guess that the reason for shipping compat-gcc at all
is to be able to provide a complete LSB environment? Or is anything in
the distro actually built with the compat toolchain?)
