Yes, definitely. AFAIK, gcc-3.3 just can't compile the Kernel because of
a lot of "internal compiler errors". I'm using gcc-2.95 (for the module
packages as well), you should change this in the Makefile.

gcc-3.3 should be fine, and optimizes well, it's just unusable for the
Kernel sources (which may rather be a problem of the kernel sources than
of gcc).
