The fact that you had to modify the kernel sources to compile with 
3.2.x is part of the problem ... GCC 3.3 has been modified to play nice 
with some of the constructs used in the NetBSD kernel.

But if your kernel works, then use it... but I would not call building 
the kernel with 3.2.x to be "supported".

Compiling the kernel with 3.3 will be a supported option, however.
