cd gcc-3.4-3.4.6/
dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot -uc -b
I get the error

I crashed on the same bug when trying to compile gcc-3.4 on 32-bit installation (compiles fine on 64-bit, but not on 32-bit machines). Possible explanation:
Script debian/runcheck.sh assumes /bin/sh to be bash, which might not be the case.
The script is called in debian/rules.defs (lines 625 .. 631):
ifeq ($(biarch32),yes)
with_32bit_check := $(shell CC="gcc -m32" sh debian/runcheck.sh)
endif
ifeq ($(biarch),yes)
with_64bit_check := $(shell CC="gcc -m64" sh debian/runcheck.sh)
endif
If one changes 'sh' to 'bash' on those lines, everything works again.
Better solution is, of course, to fix debian/runcheck.sh to not depend on /bin/sh implementation.
