Tell you what, I'll wager $100 that the test will fail with the 3.4.0 latest
compiler release.  The time I've spent assembling the standalone test case
is worth more than that and I have yet to see anyone associated with the gcc
project attempting to meet me even 1% of the way, despite my completely
self-contained tiny test case that demonstrates the problem.  Perhaps the
lure of hard dollars will spark some interest.

This being a volunteer project, we need the help of our users on some 
occasions. The question with running a newer version is certainly valid:

IFAIK, the FSF gcc3.2 version did not contain support for AMD64, so this

is something that redhat added by themselves. It may or may not be the 
case that our own sources have this problem as well. 
 
Apart from this, building your own gcc version in your homedirectory 
is actually quite simple once you have discovered the --prefix=... 
switch to ./configure.
