It's not so much that 3.3 doesn't work, it's that the kernel code isn't quite 
clean enough for 3.3 to work.

Because waiting for the huge kernel to come together is just silly.  Moving 
forward and putting even more pressure on the kernel folks is a bit better.  
No sense in holding back the rest of the class because of one slow student.

There were the last time I looked.  A quick look of the 0.95 ones show that it 
isn't there anymore, except for a small blurb in the package changes:

- gcc32 — Version 3.2.3 of GCC (used for building the kernel)

Perhaps a decent RFE would be to include the specific information about 
compiling a kernel with gcc32, with the example of how to set your CC 
variable.  Care to 'zilla it if it's not already there?
