[plt-scheme] DrScheme Bugs with GCC-3.3.1

I attempted to build DrScheme Debian packages using the 3.3.1 version of GCC, 
but found that this produced some kind of subtle bug in system that caused 
compilation problems when building ZO files:

Building DrScheme zo files ... compiled/const.zo::33188: read (compiled):
ill-formed code private/compiled/const.zo::33188: read (compiled): ill-formed
code setup-plt: Error during Compiling .zos for mzc
(/usr/lib/plt/collects/compiler) setup-plt:   private/compiled/
const.zo::33188:
read (compiled): ill-formed code setup-plt: Error during Compiling .zos for 
mzc
private (/usr/lib/plt/collects/compiler/private) setup-plt:
compiled/const.zo::33188: read (compiled): ill-formed code dpkg: error
processing drscheme (--configure): subprocess post-installation script 
returned
error exit status 1 Errors were encountered while processing:
 drscheme

Reverting to gcc-3.2 resolves the issue.

Any ideas?
