Unknown pseudo-op: .subsections_via_symbols (apple gcc 3.3)

After installing Wolfgang Thaller's ghc 6.4 package for
OSX 10.3, I got an error while building some Haskell
source: (with -v)

...
*** Assembler
gcc -I.. -c /tmp/ghc29861.s -o ../EventLoop.o
/tmp/ghc29861.s:4379:Unknown pseudo-op:
.subsections_via_symbols

gcc --version returned: "gcc (GCC) 3.3 20030304 (Apple
Computer, Inc. build 1495)"

I only had XCode 1.1 installed, so I tried upgrading it
and gcc. Now, gcc --version returns "gcc version 3.3
20030304 (Apple Computer, Inc. build 1671)", and ghc
successfully compiles things.
