It's:
jeremy@...worth:~/hg/xen/paravirt/linux-x86_64$ gcc -v
Reading specs from /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-linux/3.4.4/specs
Configured with: ../src/configure -v 
--enable-languages=c,c++,java,f77,pascal,objc,ada,treelang --prefix=/usr 
--libexecdir=/usr/lib --with-gxx-include-dir=/usr/include/c++/3.4 
--enable-shared --with-system-zlib --enable-nls

--disable-werror x86_64-linux
Thread model: posix
gcc version 3.4.4 20050314 (prerelease) (Debian 3.4.3-13)

I think this is still a supported compiler, isn't it?
