GCC 3.4.0 build failed on interix3

>Sigh.  Why are you even bothering to debate this? 

In my case, because you continue to do so.

>Ok, then using your logic, gcc should still be available for U/WIN, too.

By using your logic, GCC shouldn't support Cygwin.  Cygwin has helped sell
many more copies of Windows than copies of Interex have ever been sold.
The same pragmatic compromise of the FSF goals that allows GCC to support
non-free proprietary operating systems, and so directly or indirectly
help the sales of these operatings systems, was also applied to allow
GCC to support Interix.  Which, by the way, is only "free" as in beer,
and so really nothing has changed.

Of course today, with the availabilty of free operating systems on a
wide range of platforms, that compromise may be hurting the FSF goals
more than it's helping them.
