These gcc 3 speed issues you say are normal ... is this the designed
behaviour - if so do you know why?  It is also muffing up some parts of
the kernel - namely the ide-scsi bits.  Either module or built-in under
gcc 3 compiled fine, but the kernel barfs when it loads, but when
compiled with 2.95 is it fine all round.  

Normal teething problems?
