I've proposed the attached patch on lkml: http://lkml.org/lkml/2009/7/10/49.
From: Frans Pop <elen...@planet.nl> Subject: Only add '-fwrapv' gcc CFLAGS for gcc 4.3 and later This flag has been shown to cause init to segfault for kernels compiled with gcc-4.1. gcc version 4.2.4 has been shown to be OK, but as there is some uncertainty the flag is only added for 4.3 and later. This fixes http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13012.
