Well, I don't have qemu merged here, but one would suppose if it doesn't
work with gcc-4, that you need to merge an older gcc version, 3.4.6 or
whatever, as well, and use it.  Once you have more than one version used,
you use gcc-config to set one or the other as the system compiler, and can
switch whenever you wish.  Just don't forget to switch back to your normal
one when you are done. =8^)

How to merge specific versions of a package is covered in the handbook,
either under the working with portage or the working with Gentoo section, I
don't recall which.  If you've not done so, I suggest you read both (tho
if you aren't modifying initscripts or the like you can get away with only
skimming those chapters), as they contain some very useful information. 
However, basically what you'd do here is "emerge -a \<gcc-4"  (the
backslash escapes the < so bash doesn't interpret it as a redirect instead
of passing it to emerge).  That should get you the highest unmasked gcc-3.x
version, which should be 3.4.6-r1 or -r2, depending on whether you are
running ~arch or stable (and assuming there hasn't been another -r release
in the couple days since I last synced).
