Why should be there a dependency on gcc through?  compat-gcc-34-g77 doesn't
need gcc to be installed, the files go into completely different
directories.  The above message doesn't make any sense,
gcc doesn't own /usr/lib/x86_64-redhat-linux/3.4.6 or any files in that
tree, it owns /usr/lib/x86_64-redhat/linux/4.8.2 and files inside of it
instead.
