Don't use gcc command line option -fomit-frame-pointer to build allegro-3.9.37  with gcc-3.0.  Support of  
-fomit-frame-pointer is rather broken in gcc-3.0.X (however I haven't tried with gcc-3.0.1 release). You 
should edit makefile.dj to remove this option

Of course it would be nice if somebody would try to find which file
is miscompiled and to submit related bug report (and maybe workaround
problem if it is simple enough)

From my own experience with gcc-3.0 and -fomit-frame-pointer:
I had similar problems with one of earlier versions of GRX. That
time I found which file was miscompiled and submitted a bug report.
Later some modifications were done in GRX to workaround that 
problem, also -fomit-frame-pointer were removed
