Anyone running Debian who's interested in working on this, try

  # apt-get install gcc-3.3

  $ cd src/guile/head/
  $ CC=gcc-3.3 ./configure ...
  $ make clean
  $ make

This shouldn't affect your existing gcc 3.2 install, i.e. gcc
--version should still give you 3.2...

We use -Wall -Werror by default now (in the unstable branch), so
you'll get those options automatically.  From an initial test, it
looks like we've at least got a new slew of signed/unsigned compare
warnings.
