I do actually having hit something like this in my private version as
well.  The libraries for your 3.3 version are some non-standard place.
Your log in file will need to set $LD_LIBRARY_PATH to include 
     /export/diska/debreuck/gcc3.3/gcc-3.3/lib/

Note that the 3.2.2. compiler works except for 2 routines which are
now automatically compiled non optimised.
