I've finally found some time for this. But I'm not sure what the problem
actually is. On my unstable chroot, I have the relevant links:

# ls -l /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-linux-gnu/
total 8
drwxr-xr-x 5 root root 4096 2009-05-27 20:21 4.3
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root    3 2009-02-01 18:14 4.3.3 -> 4.3
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 2009-05-27 18:50 4.4
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root    3 2009-05-27 18:50 4.4.0 -> 4.4
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root    3 2009-05-10 17:32 4.4.1 -> 4.4

These links should come from the respective gcc-X.Y-base packages.
