Compiling a program with an outdated gcc version

This is probably a very difficult information troubleshooting problem that I can practically provide, but I hope someone can at least point me in a possible direction.

I am trying to install HTK ( http://htk.eng.cam.ac.uk/ ), which according to this page should be installed using gcc 3.4. Their backward compatibility method is:

#yum install compat-gcc-34-c++ compat-gcc-34

won't work for me since I'm running Ubuntu (on this note, I take it I can't just install YUM and the subsequent package as it's a completely different distribution, but if I'm wrong I love hearing it).

Instead, I installed two versions of gcc 3.4 - 3.4.0 and 3.4.6 using the instructions from this site. Then I added the lines suggested by this page to the top of the makefile (in this note, what's the difference between makefile and makefile.in? I tried to add lines at the top of both files independently) as for version 3.4.0 and 3.4.6, but both refused. I also tried, no doubt, to compile it with my current version (4.4.1), but that also failed. I got errors:

(cd HTKLib && make HTKLib.a) \
      || case "" in *k*) fail=yes;; *) exit 1;; esac;
