Where do we claim this? Please point me to an URL so that I can get
this corrected this.

Sure ;-).
We ship a prerelease of GCC 3.3 which can be easily seen by the
identification string:
$ gcc --version
gcc (GCC) 3.3 20030226 (prerelease) (SuSE Linux)
We had hoped that GCC 3.3 would be ready for our release and the
timeframe was initially in our favour but unfortunatly the release
slipped. Our internal tests have chown that this version has a good
quality and therefore we went with it.
