GCC 3.4.x is not meant to be incompatible, of course there can be bugs
in one or both of the compilers, but GCC 3.4.x is now in bugfixing mode,
so generally higher releases should have more bugs fixed.
If you see a regression from gcc-3.4.3-n to gcc-3.4.3-m where n < m,
please report it to us.
RHEL4 U1 is going to include gcc-3.4.3-22, while FC3 updates currently
include gcc-3.4.3-22.fc3.  Almost no difference.
