What version of the compiler are you using? Try running 'gcc -v' or 'gcc --version' to get this info. These two command lines may print out slightly different sets of data, so you may want to include both. This is definitely a problem with gcc, although it may be triggered by a problem in the kernel source. It is possible that you are using an older version of gcc than other people.
