If you are using Jaguar (10.2.x) you must have the August 2003 Developer 
tools update.  This updates parts of cctools without which the 3.3 
compiler will not work.  It also has an updated gcc_select which can take 
three sorts of options:
sudo gcc_select 2      (for gcc 2.95)
sudo gcc_select 3      (for gcc 3.1)
sudo gcc_select 3.x    (for gcc-3.x)

As you can see the script just sets up symlinks that only take a minute or 
so to do manually.

As extra info, my patched compiler is reports as gcc-1496.  The release 
Panther compiler is gcc-1495.  I think the one from the August uppdate is 
gcc-1481.

I will build a new patched compiler on Panther using the latest Apple cvs 
sources as soon as I the computer sorted.  (Do not try to run the Panther 
upgrade on a machine with software problems - it does not fix them - they 
get worse:-(  )
