There is no way to know for sure.

I am hoping tree-ssa will be ready for inclusion after 3.4 -- but we'll
have to see what the world looks like when we get to that point.  We
don't know when 3.4 will be out yet, and we don't know how much progress
tree-ssa will make.

Later in this thread, there's lots of discussion about whether to call
tree-ssa GCC 4.  I'm not terribly interested in that issue; it probably
has more of a "marketing" impact than anything else.  I don't see a
reason to do that, though.
