Okay, I did this and the effect was exactly the same as Andreas's patch:
compilation was successful but the program gets stuck in an infinite
loop of SIGSEGV's.

I'm assuming that the reason for this behavior is the changed ABI for
c++ would require me to recompile all my other related libraries with 
gcc34.  I remember doing this when gcc3 was first ported to DFly
but I finally changed back to gcc2 because so many ports would not
compile.
