alternative is to just use any compiler that came with a distro, and is at least of 3.2 vintage. (the 3.3 thing is mostly for arm; 3.2 on arm seemed to not have been a good thing). Distros usually put in fixes to gcc that are from higher/later versions, eg gcc.gnu.org releases sometimes have a few bad bugs at release time that will get fixed later, while the distros put those fixes in immediately.
