Nope.

That's why you ran into trouble with gcc-3.3.3.  You hacked
the .dat file to use a snapshot, but since the patches are
taken from a directory named after the gcc version, you
didn't get the patches.

If you are using something like gcc-3.3.4, but that is named gcc-3.3-foo,
and you want the patches for gcc-3.3.4, then you need to do
   cd patches
   ln -s gcc-3.3.4 gcc-3.3-foo
or something like that.  Ditto for 3.4.1.

So go back to your 3.3-ish snapshot, add the missing symlink
in the crosstool/patches directory, and try again.  No need
to play with gcc-3.4 if all you wanted was to get 3.3 working.

Have a look at crosstool/getandpatch.sh if you want to see
how the patch stuff works.
