A last-weeks's -current kernel built and booted ok on a 1.3.3 system.
I'd recommend (as I think I've suggested before) at least updating to
the 1.3.3 comp.tgz compiler set.  A 1.3.2 to 1.3.3 upgrade is very
painless...

I booted the above -current GENERIC kernel on the 1.3.3 system and
tried a few commands (including stuff that used shared libraries) and
everything seems fine.
