I should have mentioned it earlier but I don't have any problems with
marking it curr even if it is built with 3.3.1.  I was going to release
gcc today, in fact, until the latest vague bug report came in for it.

I've built several packages with gcc.  I know that they used to build
fine with 3.2, so I wasn't worried but even if a package has problems,
I don't see a big problem with telling people to use 3.3.1.  We're mainly
"in the business" of providing packages, not helping people rebuild the
packages.
