Ah!  I hadn't seen that.  I've started building 3.0.4 to see if it can
build 3.3.x reliably, but, if that fails, I'll download that 3.3.1.

I don't know how well that package will work with 5.2.  It'll probably
work okay if it runs fixincludes after installation, as there were quite
a few header changes between 5.1 and 5.2, and I know that at least one
of them can cause gcc to fail spectacularly.

Thanks!
