The necesary support is in gcc-3.3 or later.  Looking at ChangeLog 
entries, I see it was backported from mainline to the gcc-3.3 branch on 
2003-08-10, which was after the 3.3.1 release.  So you need 3.3.2 or later.

The gcc-3.4 support is a little bit different than the gcc-3.3 support, 
but I don't think that should matter.  The most recent version of 
libunwind added some additional functions from the libunwind API, 
allowing us to disable more of gcc's builtin unwinder, but this just 
reduces static library/executable sizes.  It shouldn't affect correctness.
