Well, I have no idea how those packages work. That's what I hate in those distros, everything works magically until one day, and users are lost. I suspect you can download a package for your distro from its ftp site and transfer it to your machine, then install it with some package management utility provided with the distro. If you cannot manage to do that, another solution would be to download gcc-3.4 sources, extract them and configure/make/make install to have a working gcc. It might be easier and take less time than trying to figure out how to install a package by hand on the distro and resolve the dependencies...
