The reason for the -V 3.3.3 is that the makefile is constructed that
way. Note that I copied the script up to a system in Toronto.=20
Here is the uname for the system in Boston:
Linux boslc03 2.6.9-34.ELlargesmp #1 SMP Fri Feb 24
17:06:55 EST 2006 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

Linux torlcm01 2.6.9-34.ELsmp #1 SMP Fri Feb 24 16:56:28 EST 2006
x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

Both systems are running RHEL 4.0 Update 3 (UNPATCHED).=20
Additionally, an identical system here in Boston that has the same
error.=20

It may be possible that the gcc 3.3.3 directory was not copied
correctly.=20
