My understanding that gcc 3.3 still doesn't compile the kernel
source..even the stock kernel source..without issue.

gcc32 was used to compile the fedora kernel..and the release notes state
that gcc32 package is there to compile the kernel. But, one could
probably passionately argue that a much bigger deal needs to be made in
the release notes about using gcc32 for kernel recompiles. A whole
paragraph in blinking text would probably suffice. And of course stating
the steps to use gcc32 from the shell would be useful in the release
notes...export CC=gcc32
