Comment 2 for bug 22250

The issue with the package is, I knew in advance that 3.4.5 was required
to build out-of-tree kernel modules (VMware, actually).

But synaptic did not offer 3.4.5 as a gcc version anywhere,
so I pulled down a different one (gcc-4?) and rebuilt the kernel
with that, so I could then build the VMware modules.

Only noticed later (after much wasted time) that "gcc --version"
for "3.4.4" returnes "3.4.5". This is confusing, thus the bug report.

I suppose this may stay around until gcc-3.4.5-final is out.

Cheers
