The Mozilla project is using more and more code that does not compile correctly with GCC 3.3.x, and they are starting to reject patches that make it work with the outdated (buggy) compiler. This makes it much harder to maintain the OS/2 port, and thus efforts were made to get GCC 3.4.x ported to OS/2. The initial fruits of this effort are now available (9/20/2008) as GCC 3.4.6 from Paul Smedley. You can follow the problems building Mozilla with this version in this Bugzilla bug.
