I'll risk repeating myself, but since everything in release has been
built with 3.x, IMHO gcc4 should not be supported as the default
compiler with 1.5 at all, but should be the default compiler on 1.7.
So here's my suggestion:
* Rebuild 3.4.4 (or 3.4.6?) with the -3 suffix and package them as gcc3-*.
* Make a new set of gcc-* packages to replace the existing ones,
containing only postinstall/preremove scripts calling alternatives for
gcc3, and depending on the gcc3-* packages.
* Make an additional set of similar packages for gcc4-* for release-2 only.
This should also allow gdc and gpc 3.4 to be available unversioned aside
gcc 4.3.

In no particular order:
Option 1:
Pass acl_cv_shlibext=.dll.a to configure. This should allow configure
to find the import libraries instead of the static ones.
Option 2:
Patch config.rpath to define shlibext=.dll.a (instead of =.dll) on
Cygwin; just make sure that shlibext isn't being used elsewhere in the
configure tests.
Option 3:
cygmake LIBICONV=-liconv LIBINTL=-lintl (or maybe LIBINTL="-lintl -liconv").

Great!

Sounds like YA reason to keep 3.4 around for a little while.
