I have a bug report for this already  ;)
I have been holding for the GCC4.3.3 release.

Python compiles against some gcc dependent libraries that need 64bit support.

All the testing thus far on gcc4.3.3 is good,
Ben is finishing up testing the amd64 builds.

I hope to get gcc released by the end of the week.
