Oops, this is inconsistently.  Probably I shouldn't have posted 3.2.3
;-(

Yes and no.  In general it's useful to let translators update and even
add new translations for 3.2.x because then (GNU)/Linux distributors can
pick up translations matching 3.2.x; some of them care about this
posibility and that's why I always want the stable releases present at
the TP site.

Of course, I didn't want to mess up with the devel branch.  I would
have been better to assign a separate textdomain to gcc 3.2.x in the
first place (e.g., gcc_3_2).

Maybe you can provide a 3.3 snapshot?  I guess, it would be the easiest
to install gcc-3.3-b20030428.pot for translation purposes.

It was my fault to pick it up...  Thanks for the warning by your side!
