     Installed versions:  4.3.3-r2(4.3)!s(01:52:54 29.03.2009)(fortran mudflap 
multilib nls openmp -altivec -bootstrap -build -doc -fixed-point -gcj -gtk -
hardened -ip28 -ip32r10k -libffi -multislot -n32 -n64 -nocxx -nopie -objc -
objc++ -objc-gc -test -vanilla)      

are you sure its gcc and not the kernel you are using?
