Install the ccache package and try
  export CC='ccache gcc'
  export CXX='ccache g++'

If you have a second PC you may also speedup builds with distcc.

The previous release was 3.3.1, current is 3.3.3 and there is a test
release of 3.4.1, no older releases available.  You may try to find an
outdated mirror, though these older versions aren't supported any
longer.  It would make more sense to identify the problem and do s.th.
about it to resolve this issue then.
