Thanks for your feedback.  I agree, and thus marked the gcc33 port BROKEN
on amd64:

  Mark BROKEN on amd64.  It looks like the system compiler miscompiles
  this, and most people on this platform will use either the system
  compiler or gcc34 anyways.

There is a very stable variant of GCC 3.3 available on the hammer-branch
in GCC CVS, which got a lot of feeding and caring from David O'Brien and
colleagues plus colleagues of mine (in our respective day jobs), but when
it comes to official GCC releases, it's really 3.4 and later that rock on
amd64.
