You are right with this, of course. And it is good that the pure64 archive handles things that way. I hope that pure64 will soon become an official part of the Debian distribution. For the gcc-3.4 archive it is not always possible to wait for the maintainer to apply a patch. The gcc-3.4 archive simply would not be able to build those 500 packages for which there are patches that have not yet been applied by the maintainers. Some of these patches have been sent to the BTS more than half a year ago. Many more than those 500 packages could not be built because all the dependencies would have to wait, too.
