probably won't work at all, as its dependencies are very likely to be 
all wrong.

compat packages in RHEL/CentOS are designed to go back one major 
release.  So, compat-gcc34 on EL6 was designed for EL5 
compatibility.     on EL7, there's a compat-gcc-44 to provide EL6 
compatibility.

I suggest you recompile whatever software depends on gcc 3.4 to run with 
el7's native gcc 4.8
