For what exactly? The only messages I have seen about it are those who
installed 'gcc' thinking it was the current version only to realize
they needed 'gcc4'. No recent distro still supported 3.4, -mno-cygwin
has been completely replaced by mingw64-*-gcc, and any software
included in distributions that doesn't compile OOTB with 4.x will have
patches available from those distros. I think it's past time to scrap
3.4.
