If that was the case, we would not have had a proposed patch for GCC-3.3.5.

As far as GCC-3.3.5 is concerned, I'm willing to help either sides,
but I believe we should 

  (1) all recognize that the current spec does not meet any official
      GCC release in existence;

  (2) sort out the opposition points, in particular have GCC
      maintainers involved in the C++ part.
