It might be worth a gcc3.3 spell like we had with USEGCC2 a while back.
It might be smart to allow us to have many versions of gcc installed and
instead of USEGCCn have a DETAILS:GCC=3.3 variable. I'm pretty sure gcc
problems will happen again in the future during upgrades, so it just
might be worth it.

It might... might.. might. might mightmightightghthtt...
