As I mentioned on my first post, "It is important for me that the version is
3.3". I am currently running an application on the target that does binary
manipulation at run-time (sort of like JIT compilation). This application
allows me to write instrumentation code. However, the instrumentation code
and the application must be compiled using the same compiler version. This
is why I need gcc 3.3.

I think I will have to download gcc's source code and build it. I was trying
to avoid this since building gcc 3.3 takes time and I thought some one could
have done this already.

Thanks for your help :)
