Those 77 regressions are sometimes also against GCC 3.2, about 25 are
unique to 3.3 - but I fear more testing will show more ;-).

I agree! Even if our testing inside SuSE with compilation of around
3000 RPMs has not stumbled over those bugs, it does not mean that
they're not real or unimportant - and I hope that all these bugs will
soon be fixed and we'll also help there.
Note that when we looked first into this in December, we had more than
30 ICEs in different code on x86, now we're down to just 1.
