sorry, that was a blur, the last successful bootstrap of 3.3 I had was
the posting to gcc-testresults,
http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-testresults/2002-09/msg00563.html, that
happened with LAST_UPDATED: Mon Sep 16 08:16:13 UTC 2002.

And, the first one to bootstrap fail due to ICE in complex_io that I
now have done using

./contrib/gcc_update -D "Sep 20 10:00 UTC 2002"

and nothing else.

The cvs diff between these dates are way to big to be helpful to me...

The boostrap failures I've had in between these dates are due to
comparison failures as I have seen trying a few now. I'll try to just
build the compiler and see what I get.
