Why not build the LinuxThreads port with the system's compiler?  It's
not C++ code, so you can link it to code compiled with any compiler
(just like libc, which is built with gcc 2.95 as well).  Just because
your application may require gcc 3.4 doesn't mean that all supporting
libraries have to be built with it too.
