There is a 'pukka' GCC 3.3 to be downloaded from
ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/people/pthomas/gcc/3.3/8.2-i386/

I have downloaded it and it works on kernel compiles (kernel
2.4.21-rc2-ac3), compiling alsa drivers and VMware modules. That's what
I have tried it on so far.

From what I have understood, GCC 3.3 is a little more strict with what
is allowed, and some code gets caught out by this.

Kernels before a 2.4.21-pre4 (or -pre5) would not build with GCC 3.3.
SuSE's default kernel in SLPro 8.2 had the patches to allow it to
compile.
