Even if this is caused by a GCC issue, there are still two things to consider:
1. The problem does not appear with older binutils, so they must be doing
something right, even if inadvertently.
2. Even if the GCC bug is fixed, the fix will only appear in the 3.4 branch.
Lots of third-party C++ code that we use still requires g++ 3.3 to build, and
I'm pretty sure we're not the only ones to use such code.
In other words, upgrading binutils renders g++ 3.3 useless. If that is the
intention, then g++ 3.3 should be removed from distributions that carry it,
otherwise this bug will continue to be reported. Of course, removing g++ 3.3 is
a huge problem for those who need it to compile older C++ sources.
