I just tried to buildworld with gcc-3.3.1_20030804 (the one in the tree
is from 20030711 I believe) installed as a package and while I did no
longer receive the dreaded ICE that I'm now so familiar with, I did get
the following error:

I'm not sure how to fix that, but this snapshot seems to be working
better despite the fact that I still can't buildworld or kernel.

What would that hardware problem be? This is what is driving me crazy.
I'm running around beating my head against the wall trying to figure out
what is wrong and no matter where I turn, I cannot get a definitive
answer nor can I even find out how I might come across a definitive
answer. I have not tried installing 4.8 on this system. The thought
had crossed my mind, but I wanted to stay with 5.x since I've been
running it since 5.0-RELEASE. Besides, if I do have a hardware problem
what difference would installing 4.8 make?
