Exactly the same error here.
It's a gcc-3.3b_something problem and is caused by SuSE's stupidity.
Including an unstable compiler into a main distri branch is 
unbelievable. There are people who aren't even able to compile a 
standard kernel on 8.2 - well, until someone comes up with a solution on 
how to replace gcc/gpp/glibc/(insert other stuff necessary here) to 
stable releases (ie. gcc-2.95 & Co.), I think it's better to stick with 
8.1 where I didn't encounter any single problem, so far.

hth,
Chris
