Comment:

 GCC 3.3.6 was released in 2005:

 http://gcc.gnu.org/releases.html

 So it's 6 years old now. I don't see a compelling reason why someone can't
 upgrade to a 3.4.x or 4.x compiler. It's free, after all! :)

 According to the main GCC page:

 http://gcc.gnu.org/

 4.3 is the oldest compiler still maintained, and it was released 4 years
 ago, so I don't think we need to worry too much about ancient versions of
 GCC.

 So, unless someone asks for support or we get a patch, lets not worry
 about this.
