There are hundreds of ports in FreeBSD that ask for GCC 3.3 if not more 
recent, many of which work fine on FreeBSD 4.x. I hardly understand 
what you are complaining about. It's not like you could get a more 
recent compiler with one line or shell (thank you the ports tree). I am 
pretty sure adding the appropriate CC= and CXX= options to your 
configure line is way faster for you and every body else here 
than "fixing" the 

Plus you did not seem to mind dropping Win9x so that you could get your 
charset... now *surprise* you stick so hard to such an old FreeBSD
