Neat, it worked for gcj too:

    ~$ gcj --version
    gcj (GCC) 4.0.2 20050808 (prerelease) (Ubuntu 4.0.1-4ubuntu9)

    ~$ gcj -V 3.4 --version
    i486-linux-gnu-gcc-3.4 (GCC) 3.4.5 20050809 (prerelease) (Ubuntu
    3.4.4-6ubuntu8)

However, gcj is not installed by default, only gcc is. Which means that 
if the user already has to install additional packages, he may just as 
well be asked to get gcj-3.4.
