I have now completed this task.  Comparing maxima builds
using the two gcc version, there are three files that 
give different results
 - src/clmacs.lisp
 - src/cpoly.lisp
 - src/ronbrg.lisp

as discussed, clmacs.lisp causes a crash during the build
cpoly and rombrg cause problems with the testsuite

With a gcc-3.3.3 compiled cpoly the testsuite finished with
