gcc 3.3.3, const symbols and shared libraries


I have seen the discussions at

http://sourceware.org/ml/cygwin/2004-09/msg01101.html

referenced at

http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2005-03/msg00048.html

regarding gcc 3.3.3's placement of const symbols into
rdata which then cannot be properly initialized.
This problem seems pretty fundamental. Can anyone
tell me whether there has been any followup to
this? Is it considered a cygwin problem or a
gcc problem? Has it been addressed in 3.4.1?
What are developers doing? Going back to 3.3.1?

I ask because I just spent two days trying to
compile a number of libraries, and ran into
problems at every turn due to this bug.
