Are you using gcc-3.2 or gcc-3.3? Did this work fine last month with
gcc-3.x?

Anyway, http://hurd.gnufans.org/bin/view/Mach/BuildingOskitMach seems to
recommend using gcc-2.95 as compiler for oskit:

"The recommended versions of GCC are  
For the OSKit
GCC 2.95.X

For GNUmach and MiG
GCC 3.2"

so I suggest you just install gcc-2.95 alongside the default compiler. 

I never tried to build oskit with gcc-3.x I think (Well, I only tried it
a couple of times anyway :)
