I suggest using the precompiled version, or just install gcc 3.3.x in
/opt/gcc. Gcc can easily live in its own directory, to use it for compiling,
just prepend /opt/gcc/bin to your path. In fact, that is how I build the
static PDNS releases.

Compiling gcc is very easy:
	tar xjf gcc-core.tar.bz2 (more or less)
	tar xjf gcc-c++.tar.bz2 (more or less)
	cd gcc (more or less)
	mkdir ian
	cd ian
	../configure --prefix=/opt/gcc --enable-languages=c++"
	make
	make install

Good luck!
