gcc 3.3 on OS/X works fine.

One note: under OS/X, when building gnuradio-core, you have to 
"make install" before "make check" will work.

[The problem is related to trying to run the python code using the
non-installed versions of libgnuradio-core and the swig generated
libraries.  Feel free to sort it out and submit a patch.]
