 pfe-0.33.66 build works fine for me with
Linux_2.6.21.3_i686.d and gcc 3.4.5, both with the default
../configure, and with --with-sbr-threading --with-regs=2.

On the other hand, my build attempt with Leopard ppc fails
(with both gcc 4.0.1 and 3.3) on debug-ext.c, which I think is
much before the above. It works fine with 0.33.65.  The
ChangeLog does show significant changes between the two versions
in debug-ext.  My temporary solution is to go with 0.33.65 plus
the simple bug fix at the top of the 0.33.66 ChangeLog.

Don't know if that would work with your system...
