4.3.2 -> 4.3.3 from the GCC web site is a "regression fixes and docs
only" only. It is not a new release. This has happened in prior Fedora
releases. This is one of the things I like about Fedora.
Now if I have to wait for Fedora 11 to get GCC 4.4.x the process will
start all over again, because this is a new release of GCC and it will
take a few minor versions updates before they are worked out. With your
"Build tools are usually not updated post-release" argument there may
not be a bug fixed / stable version of GCC for some time... Unless
4.3.x-compat is released in Fedora 11.

According to Jakub it does...
<Jakub>
Yes, if it encounters an internal compiler error, the gcc/g++ compiler
driver retries 3 times to determine if a bug is reproduceable or not.
If not, the most likely culprit is faulty hw, if yes, it prepares
preprocessed source together with options used and tells you to file a
bug with that data.

And this is what I experienced with my random errors.
I just got another random error in last night's build. This one looks
like corrupt assembly code.
/tmp/ccmigTCg.s: Assembler messages:
/tmp/ccmigTCg.s:9718: Error: unknown pseudo-op:
`.size^A_znkst6vectoripk22tccommunicationsdevicesais2_ee8max_sizeev'
Maybe this is some type of disk problem.
