4.3.0-0pre1v1 does, in fact, show the same symptoms when built with
gcc3.3, apparently. 4.3.0-0ds4 don't show the symptoms due to being
built with gcc3.2 (as was default at the time).
I'm going to see if I can shake this issue down after exams (four days),
but it basically looks like gcc3.3 is *just* *not* *ready*. It doesn't
build XFree86 at all on a couple of architectures, it ICEs on KDE on
mips{,el}, it has numerous regressions, and seems to compile broken code
at higher optimization levels.
Yay.
