As I've been told, the above is not correct, so this paragraph should read:

  Compatibility:

   C++ code compiled with prerelease version of gcc 3.3 will continue to
   work without problems, but C++ code compiled with this release version
   of gcc 3.3 might NOT run on a normal 8.2 system. This is due to a new
   function in libgcc_s and some new member functions in libstdc++ that
   might get used in the compiled code.

   But as both libgcc_s and libstdc++ are downwards compatible, it
   suffices to update the packages libgcc and libstdc++ to the new
   versions.
