+         GCC 3.3.1 will NOT work. It has a different bug which also causes
+	 internal compiler errors when compiling the C code generated by
+	 the Mercury compiler.  This is apparently fixed in GCC 3.3.2.
+         <p>
          Avoid GCC 2.96 (distributed with Red Hat Linux 7.x) and
          other unofficial releases of GCC.
          <p>
