OK, so we seemed to be at a dead-end and I decided to try another
tack. Took a bit since it's so long to build gcc4. I installed it on
another machine and then copied the debs to the machine having the
issue. Then I tried to install it and got the following errors. This
is further then it went before, but not success.
$ fink --no-use-binary-dist install gcc4 gcc4-shlibs

I then did a scanpackages and index. Then tried again with the same
result. So I'm pretty stymied here. Somehow I've got a broken install
and can't fix it. I get a report that gcc is out-of-date, but it
won't let me update it. I suppose at this time the best thing to do
would be to wait until it goes to stable and see.
