I really don't know. 

GCC building for me also does not require too much efforts if all is going 
smoothly. I have updated gccXXXs2.zip not to build source archive when 
something fails (eg. patch, automake, autoconf, etc). Otherwise it was too 
easy to get broken source archive.

About testing gcc-3.3 prerelease builds with 2.04. I built 15 march CVS 
snapshot also as Linux to DJGPP cross-compiler, so I can sometimes test 
building 2.04 files, but I'm not sure that I'll do it very often. And I can 
confirm presence of problems to usr gcc-3.3 prerelease there. Part of them
can perhaps be easily fixed, but some will need more work.
