Hi,
Firstly: I solved the problem. For those who find it interesting to
see where the issue resided, and how it was solved, I have posted the
details down below.

Yep.

Been there, done that. This results in (for "yum update" and "yum
update gcc"):
---> Package gcc-objc.i386 0:3.4.6-3.1 set to be updated
---> Downloading header for gcc4-c++ to pack into transaction set.

---> Package gcc4-c++.i386 0:4.1.0-18.EL4.3 set to be updated
--> Running transaction check
--> Processing Dependency: gcc = 3.4.5 for package: libtool
--> Finished Dependency Resolution
Error: Missing Dependency: gcc = 3.4.5 is needed by package libtool
>As a last resort I'd suggest that you try removing libtool entirely
>(rpm -e libtool), then installing whatever gcc packages you are after,
>and then try re-installing libtool.
Yes. I agree in resorting to the last resort, so I tried that, and
this resulted in the message: "error: "libtool" specifies multiple
packages"
But wait!
Now there we have a really good clue as to what is going on!!!
Multiple packages does not sound like a desirable situation!!
Sooooo, trying to use yum instead shows something highly interesting:
yum remove libtool
Setting up Remove Process

There ya go!
No idea how both versions could have gotten installed, but this is
definitely way off.
I removed both packages, and afterwards a "yum update gcc" worked
fine, then I ran "yum update" and that finished without any problems
too. Finally, I ran "yum install libtool", and that worked smoothly
too (it installed the "c4.4" version mentioned above).
All swell now, and tnx everybody for your help! :)
Cheerz,
Olafo
