Compiling an old version with an old compiler

[spasmous]

I'm compiling for a platform that only has gcc/g++ 3.3. Octave 3.05
passes ./configure CXX=c++33 CC=gcc33 but fails about 20 minutes into
make (see below). Any hints as to what to try next are much
appreciated, I have no idea.

g++33 -I. -I.. -I../liboctave -I../src -I../libcruft/misc
-DHAVE_CONFIG_H -mieee-fp -Wall -W -Wshadow -Wold-style-cast -g -O2
-rdynamic \
-L.. -fPIC -o octave \
main.o \

-Wl,/usr/local/lib/octave-3.0.5 \
