Well, not quite. Longjump crashes and non-local goto crashes have been fixed, but trampoline crashes not. The gcc-3.2.x trampoline patch can be applied to gcc-3.3 and it fixes most trampoline crashes, but .....
I'm getting somewhat tired of this. Time and time again it's suggested to change to new gcc versions for these reasons (among others, of course), at least since gcc-2.8.1, and when it's done, it turns out the problems are still not really fixed (sometimes they're fixed on some platforms, sometimes they (re-)emerge on other platforms) ... :-(
BTW, are the bugs reproducible in C code?
