I think that your asking a bit too much of the testors in trying to
make them resposible for fixing "Debian" specific bugs. It's a valuable
contribution just to setup and run the debian build using 3.3.
We are trying to do a debian build on parisc-linux. The main hicup
so far relates to the switch to dwarf2 EH as the default exception
handling in 3.3. Because libstdc++ and libgcc_s are still at the same
versioning as 3.2, debian can't switch to dwarf2 until the versioning
changes, or they do a complete new release. This is a PA specific
issue but possibly other ports have other reasons to bump the versions
of libstdc++ and libgcc_s.
