Well the problem also affects gcc-3.4 and gcc-4.0. The solution is to 
build them with dpkg-buildpackage -d to ignore this over-strict 
dependencies. I already talked about that with Matthias at Debconf 5, he 
told me he is ok to relax the build-deps, but the best solution would be 
to have an up to date glibc. Maybe we could use -d until we have it?
