Rerun 'setup.exe', choose the "Exp" radio button above the package list, 
and then click the "View" button until it shows "Partial".  This will 
give you a list of the packages that you have installed that have 
"Experimental" versions available.  "g++" and friends should be in that
list with a "3.4.1-1" version option.  Cycle those packages you don't want
to change to "Keep".  Leave "g++" and friend as is and click "Next" to 
upgrade.  

This is likely much easier than building your own version and tracking 
down bugs in your configuration.

HTH,
