I understand this point of view and am not advocating delaying the
integration of gcc3 into the base system for pkgsrc only.  On the other
hand, pkgsrc maintainers can not be expected to fix each and every third
party application.  They often do, and that really helps make things
work, but let's face it, it's a pain.

FWIW, I'll run another bulk-build with gcc-3.3.1 and post the results to
the tech-pkg list.
