no, the compiler is a prerelease of gcc-3.4.5. So naming it 3.4.5 is wrong.
Upstream calls it 3.4.5 *prerelease*. So you may want to find out a good way to
express the correct version _and_ assure that version numbers are monotonically
increasing.

no, you get the version number by calling 'gcc-3.4 --version', these stay the
same. if you compile the kernel or if you compile modules.

Will keep it as wontfix.
