I agree, and thus marked the gcc33 port BROKEN on amd64: Mark BROKEN on amd64. It looks like the system compiler miscompiles this, and most people on this platform will use either the system compiler or gcc34 anyways. There is a very stable variant of GCC 3.3 available on the hammer-branch in GCC CVS, which got a lot of feeding and caring from David O'Brien and colleagues plus colleagues of mine (in our respective day jobs), but when it comes to official GCC releases, it's really 3.4 and later that rock on amd64.
