Switch to gcc-3.3



Hello.

Robert has updated both gcc-defaults and the gcc compilers, which means
gcc-3.3 is now the default compiler if you use gcc and we are now mostly
in sync with the Linux-based architectures.

Before I update the cheap gcc-i386-gnu cross-compiler acccordingly:
Are the gnumach and hurd packages really ready for gcc-3.3?

Another question: Now, when compiling a very simple program (hello)
the following message is shown:

dpkg-architecture: warning: Unknown gcc system type i586-gnu, falling back to
 default (native compilation)
dpkg-architecture: warning: Specified GNU system type i386-gnu does not match
 gcc system type i586-gnu.

The following patch to dpkg-architecture seems to remove the warning:

--- /usr/bin/dpkg-architecture	2003-09-20 03:06:39.000000000 +0200

Is this really the right thing to do?

Thanks.
