Correct.  I will ensure that a modified version of the patch is 
checked onto the 3.2 branch and included with the RTEMS 3.2.x patches.

I wasn't trying to push Angelo to 3.3 for this.  I am sorry that I gave
that
impression.  He (and everyone else) should stick with gcc 3.2.x until 
3.3 is out and stabilizes.  From the traffic on the gcc list, there
are still more than a few regressions.

For mips multilib issues, 3.3 was much better than previous releases the
last time I tried it.  gcc 3.3 gives me hope that 32 and 64 bit mips
targets can finally use the same toolset.
