GCC 3.3.5 is the system compiler here, too (no surprise, since we're
both using Gentoo.) The GCC 3.3.6 tests seem to run fine. 3.4.4 and
4.0.0 produce segmentation faults for a couple of the Boost.Python tests.

One of the failing tests is exception_translator. This smells like a
problem similar to what we had with Intel.
