3.4.3 is in updates-testing.
I'm actually surprised that this would matter at all. I'm currently
using the Madwifi driver, compiled for the latest kernel using the
current gcc (3.4.2-6.fc3). As far as I can tell, the kernel vermagic
should only care about GCC major and minor numbers, not micro version
numbers (my modules claim
vermagic: 2.6.11-1.14_FC3 686 REGPARM 4KSTACKS gcc-3.4 ) and if
there has been a C API break in a stable bugfix release I'm sure the GCC
developers want to know it! That's definitely not supposed to happen...
