gcc 3.4 is more ANSI conform. See

http://www.gnu.org/software/gcc/gcc-3.4/changes.html

They say "G++ is now much closer to full conformance to the ISO/ANSI C++ 
standard. This means, among other things, that a lot of invalid constructs 
which used to be accepted in previous versions will now be rejected. ".

The problem might be related to:
"When allocating an array with a new expression, GCC used to allow parentheses 
around the type name. This is actually ill-formed and it is now rejected: 
        int* a = new (int)[10];    // error, not accepted anymore
        int* a = new int[10];      // OK"
